are better, reelect me. >> bill: you know who is getting a lot of attention? wisconsin, minnesota, michigan. your home state. ohio, my home state. pennsylvania. how do you square all that? >> was funny. i was in michigan yesterday, i had an electrician working on my house, and he said tell the president i love him. michigan is with him all the day. i hear it all the time. i feel really good about where the president stands. it is going to be a battle. raising record money, putting our ground game and play, we have something to run on. democrats are about a vision, dividing our country, they are not offering anything that will make lives better, and the president has a winning record and a winning message. >> bill: it will be the story of the year in 2020. the china trade tariffs continue to get a lot of attention. we will continue to see it. i hope that you come back. we will see where the country's. ronna mcdaniel. >> thank you. >> sandra: meanwhile, nancy pelosi calling out mitch mcconnell. >> we sent our registration to the senator. we sent her legislation to the center. moscow

clinton could have won wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. exactly the same in relation to new hampshire, it was very close there. and he's done a lot of positive work on the opioid crisis which is a big issue. what it points to is this election map, a lot of people would just say it's very simple, it's all about those three states. the industrial midwest, the blue wall for the democrats, if the president just gets those three states again, he's fine. it's not as simple as that. he can afford to lose michigan and pennsylvania and pick up a couple elsewhere like new hampshire and the map is more interesting than i think a lot of the common has allowed for and it's really encouraging that he is a new hampshire campaigning for those votes fai fair. >> sandra: timing is going to be so crucial here when you look at what's happening for the economy and a bit concerned as far as wall street and seeing the market rally where the president announces that the lay of those tariffs until mid-december and then we saw the big sell-off, the white house said that was because of the federal reserve. roun

just not going to play in states like michigan where i'm from, ohio, pennsylvania, wisconsin and president trump can run on a record of higher wages coming back. the working class in my state recognizes that trump is the one who is delivered from them not the obama and biden legacy and economies that left so many people in the state. >> jon: you mentioned obama and biden when he was vice president, he was a bridge builder, a quote from the hill article, meaning they were good republicans out there. any time we ever got in trouble with our administration, got set up to capitol hill to fix it, because they know i respect the other team. might winds and admiration among republicans but what are democrats going to do, saying they are good people? >> what's even more interesting is that obama this weekend had a report that he told joe biden not to run and he hasn't endorsed his former running mate. now he's trying to sell the line i didn't ask for the endorsement and that is just a flat out lie. of course he would want the endorsement of former president obama but he doesn't have it.

be president of. a guy in a place like ohio, i was born in pennsylvania, my wife from wisconsin. you get into classic america, get out of new york city, get out of los angeles, and to some extent get out of washington and the rest of the country people are still very proud of america and they actually want a president who is proud of america. they are also watching and saying look what he is doing to the chinese on tariffs. he might like president xi but tougher than any president in modern times in dealing with the chinese. he just put sanctions on the russians. every time you turn around it turns out this guy is real and the stuff he is doing is real. with mitch mcconnell's amazing leadership in the senate they have done the most from a conservative standpoint the most extraordinary job of filling up conservative judges way beyond anything i would have thought possible two years ago. so i think there is a reason. this is a charisma based on results, not just a charisma based on froth. >> bill: thank you, mr. speaker. sounds like a campaign and the american people will make a d

-dollar investments, pennsylvania and wisconsin up on that map. >> i think the hillary clinton, and i think they should have and even people who are bilingual my wife who speak spanish and english, you hear spanish language for radio. i think it's important to go after that boat and attack those areas. >> jon: i'm told we are running out of time and there's a push in the democratic party to get the electoral college. but we should take that up another time. >> sandra: we have time? okay, the electoral college has a racial injustice breakdown due to severe racial disparities in certain states. that's as opposed to those vot votes. >> you look at the history of the electoral college and first of all it was the idea that americans couldn't be trusted to make their own decisions about who their leaders were. this is why for the first 36 years, that's where the enslaved people were. that leads to people, -- that's nonsense. the race in 2020 has become a dog whistle for the left. the electoral college is there for a reason. we in virginia and other places where i live, we are not going to b

. wisconsin, michigan, iowa, pennsylvania. >> jon: speaking of that part of the country, i want to bring up a graphic of the six.president trump won in 2016. your state, wisconsin, among them. west virginia as well. hillary clinton and the sort of upper midwest industrial states won illinois. now democrats are trying to change that. they are sending all kinds of organizing teams -- is not going to put them over the top in the so-called rustbelt? >> i think it is going to be close in wisconsin, but the whole rust belt, president trump has done really well with rural voters and union voters. what is remarkable is that he got 8% of the american vote, and right now his favorable rating is in the high 20s and low 30s. if he gets up to 20% in the selection, i think the game is over in places like wisconsin and michigan, but president trump is a real problem here is suburban women. some of his rhetoric and his tone has turned off traditionally republican voting suburban women who are looking for another candidate. and i think if president trump can keep those women on board, i think he wins ree

states. the midwest. michigan, wisconsin. places like that. we believe that if we organize now and put people on the ground, talking to voters about democratic values, that is why we will win. that is why we are organizing so early on. they have that infrastructure that they will inherit as soon as they become the nominee. >> sandra: all right. we will see how that turns out for you. final question. he was talking to a small group of reporters. 90 minute interview, and he clearly makes the case for racism in this country, he says it is a white man's problem. why are we seeing this more and more a strategy on the part of joe biden to take that on in that way? >> from the beginning of his campaign, he has -- there is a lot of hatred going on in our country right now. there is a president in this white house who wants to divide us and bring us together, and a lot of our democratic candidates, including joe biden, have talked about how this is how we are going to bring people together. we want to make sure we are representing all americans, that we are dividing our country, that we are

national, but for trump to pick off pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. >> and you need those states along with florida. >> you can lose the national popular vote by upward of three million votes. but because you have such a concentration of your type of voter in those places, that's 46. that's what made him president. >> a wall street journal poll shows that 53% of americans want to elect our president with a popular vote. before he won the presidency, donald trump was one of those people. he called the electoral college a disaster, but after his victory. >> the electoral college is genius. >> it's do you kngenius. >> not surprisingly, several of the 2020 democratic presidential candidates would like to see the electoral college abolished. >> we get a little bit closer to one person, one vote. >> do democrats think getting rid of the electoral college give them an advantage in 2020 and beyond. steve warns they should think again. >> it feels like a permanent thing that only helps republican. i'm not convinced there is a permanent long-term republican advantage. >> i wonder if our sy

my home state of texas in addition to going back and getting michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. there are a lot of candidates that could beat donald trump in this race. >> i'm sure you're aware if you haven't heard president trump's comments he made today when he was asked about congresswoman talib's call to reduce aid to israel. let's listen in. >> yesterday i noticed for the first time talib with the tears. all of a sudden, she starts with tears, tears. and i don't buy it. i don't buy it. i don't buy it for a second because i've seen her in a very vicious mood at campaign rallies, my campaign rallies before she was a congresswoman. i said who is that? and i saw a woman that was violent and vicious and out of control. >> i mean, i'm not sure i ever heard a president call a sitting member of congress violent and vicious, you know, he also said jewish people that vote for a democrat shows either a total lack of knowledge or disloyalty. can you imagine if president obama your former boss had ever said anything like so do your viewers that president obama has way too much class to

terrorism cases myself in the midwest whether i was up in wisconsin. it's a challenge because we're looking for behaviors, incidents, things they might be doing as opposed to in a hate crime situation where you have a clear articulation of something that's in paper or in words that goes beyond -- that reaches past the first amendment protections to incite. >> this is a problem that attorneys general have coped with. when you were at justice, when do you decide when someone is a danger to the community? >> it's a tremendous challenge with respect to international terrorism and domestic terrorism. there are three things the government needs to do. congress needs to pass a domestic terrorism law to give the fbi more tools than it currently has to combat domestic terrorism. some of the tools they have for combatting international terrorism. you know, the agency was completely reoriented after 9/11 to focus on international terrorism. rightly so. with this uptick in domestic terrorism, we need to make sure that the same focus is being brought to bear. all the joint terrorism task forces

get to participate in that. columbia, vasser, wisconsin, wesleyan, berkley, clairmont, ucla, u chicago, u michigan at ann arbor and champagne, illinois, urbana. these are elite institutions and that's been my experience and it's worse and in terms of where you're going to send your children, i get that question all the time. i think you need to look into it and you need to investigate the campus culture and you need to see how the administration has reacted to things. and you need to understand that, because if you're going to send your child to a small 2000 student school, which is, you anti-israelen by fervor, there's not a lot of support systems there and there's not a lot of systems to find their own space. whereas if you send them to a larger institution there may be other communities. i think you need to do your research just like you would do the research on which school has the best chemistry department or anything else. it's amazing how much time people will spend going over those things, but won't look into the culture as it relates to whether a jewish student can exp

, wisconsin, pennsylvania, we lost by 77,000 votes combined, there were 92 million americans who voted in 2016, the next year in virginia, the biggest wins in 140 yea rs, last year we virginia, the biggest wins in 140 years, last year we won the congress with biggest pick—up since 1974, we have seven new governors and eight state legislators, trump will have a ha rd state legislators, trump will have a hard time winning again, he is at 40, 40 hard time winning again, he is at 40,40 2%, he hard time winning again, he is at 40, 40 2%, he antagonises everybody. i talked about in my book how he came as an unadulterated racist and white supremacist and that does not sell in this country. you mentioned thatjoe biden put in a better performance last night, by public consensus he faltered in the first debate. let us watch a bit of last night. it looks like one of ours has learned the lessons of the past and one of us has not. you want to be president of the united states you need to answer the tough questions. if you are debating donald trump he will not let you off the hook. you cannot have

chances of being re elected in some key battle ground states. a poll from june in wisconsin gave democratic hopeful joe biden a six point lead over mr trump. while fellow contender bernie sanders came in at seven points ahead of the president. a short while ago i spoke with van mobley, the president of the village of thiensville, wisconsin, who is also a supporter of mr trump. 0k, van, you support president trump‘s economic policy, including the tariffs on chinese imports. but i imagine up in wisconsin you know a lot of farmers and that they are hurting, because of the trade conflict with china. what do you say to them? they‘re adults, they understand we have a very unbalanced trade with the chinese for many years and they understand that there might be some temporary dislocations. donald trump has provided some assistance when we go through this bumpy period, they support his trade initiatives andi would say the america, mexico, canada agreement, which he has renegotiated, is betterfor wisconsin farmers and right now it is nancy pelosi who is a hold—up on that. it‘s kind

in wisconsin has been milking cows since 19a2, but now they are getting rid of their remaining stock and looking for what comes next. my life pretty much revolves around the farm. it's what i've always wanted to do. i guess i've always wanted to farm. started in 19a0 by my grandfather and then it was passed on to my father. i took over in 2013. it's always been important to me. this is the kids coming trick—or—treating. that's the milkjar. so when they come trick—or—treating you have to come to the barn to trick—or—treat. there's been a shift towards larger farms but i always figured there would be a place for smaller farms. with the economy and everything i don't see a future i don't see a future in that, i guess. the price of milk hasn't resolved as fast as all our expenses has. if he had to pay me what i do he would be going backwards, so i'm doing what any father would do to help him through, so i don't mind, but when you can't see him progressing it's a little bit harder to work that hard. i think everybody has accepted it's time to move on. my daughter comes i

tensions. today we're talking to a farmer in wisconsin who raises calves to sell to dairy farmers for milking. turn back the clock a couple of years and china was a growing market for us dairy. the pig farmers in china use whey, from milk, to feed the livestock. but exports have dropped dramatically — down 44% sincejune 2018 when china imposed 25% tariffs. the dairy industry calculated that losses in 2018 exceeded $1 billion, but the government's compensation package amounted tojust $127 million. on twitter yesterday, donald trump said the great american farmers know that china cannot hurt them, while the president is standing by them. joining us now is cattle farmer lee shlenvogt. has donald trump stood by you? well, my thoughts on the whole tariff position we are in is we have an unfairtrade tariff position we are in is we have an unfair trade balance, tariff position we are in is we have an unfairtrade balance, i have tariff position we are in is we have an unfair trade balance, i have said that in the past and will continue to say it. what donald trump has done, and her staff an

suburban locations. we are in midsized american tampa,-- every day -- madison, wisconsin. we can take all of your non-headquarters workplace -- your dallas sales office, your medicine, was cut -- your madison, wisconsin, engineering office. that is better than having to work with 17 given providers and 70 different cities. >> some of your rivals tap venture capital funds. how did that come about? jamie: i think we have a long track record now of knowing how to be indispensable to occupiers. if we're going to be the best partner to landlords, we have to understand their pain points, the ins and outs of the are business dynamics. bringing landlords so they are in the room with us as we navigate this, that was priority number one. caroline: the fact that wework is going public, everyone is biting their teeth about it, worried about the transparency, wondering how it is going to go. do you think it will be a net positive or negative for your business? jamie: really only time will tell. we will focus on doing capital efficient business we can build. the market is the market is the market. roma

attention now to muni moment. joining us from wisconsin, h, portfolioric manager of fixed income over at wells fargo. how busy is august going to be? how many munis do we see priced? difficultt has been a summer in terms of finding bonds, that's for sure. issue, but an fundamentals are strong. we are seeing very few state and local governments needing to make cuts. clearly we are late in an economic cycle. it is just finding those bonds that remains the biggest challenge. guy: in terms of what we are expecting to see and how you solve that challenge, how are you going to go about it? gabriel: i think you have to pay attention when the supply does come. it was quiet in july, but we had a nice tick up in june. we see that now in august as well. you have to pay attention as an investor when these new deals come. we are seeing a number of large deals for bryant park in new york. when some of those transactions arrive to the market, you have to come prepared with your pencil sharpened and ready to look at what offers relative value today. vonnie: curious as to what your reaction is to today's

indiana, wisconsin, as opposed to things that may be helpful when you are putting together a platform, but do not address how your life will be better if you are a working person? mr. bayh: you put your finger right on it. the trouble with these primaries as you are appealing to the party base which tends to be, on the democratic side, more liberal than the country as a whole, on the republican side, more conservative. you are not speaking to that southeast michigan, the ordinary citizens who are not paying attention right now but will ultimately decide the general election next year. the question is whoever the democrats nominate, can that person not have been moved so far to the left and pivot and talk about those red and better kitchen table issues? wages,urity, rising college affordability, expensive health care. those things that will drive most people. i think it was missing from last nights's debate, there are folks in this country today, here we are on bloomberg, we think about economics and finance, and those are important issues. but there is a whole other set of issues that

folks around the country. tom: medicare for all will play in wisconsin? --nda: they are leading leaning into tangible ways people are affected. you saw that with elizabeth warren and you saw that last night. they are going directly in these places to talk to them. tom: let's bring in francine. francine: how much are democratic voters looking for someone they think can be donald trump versus someone who matches their view of the world? amanda: that is an important question. you are seeing the folks leaning in and not doing an analysis. that passion and intensity will be important when you get into the ring in the next debate and going forward. this will be incredibly intense and you saw that last night. francine: who has a better chance of winning against donald --mp, a moderate or a amanda: elizabeth warren on the first night connected with people. thehe second night, you saw senator biden do it, cory booker do it. the more that candidates get comfortable with this idea that you will be attacked and answer back, that is what makes it possible to win. francine: i keep hearing bec

southern china to wisconsin, it's going to be permanent and there will be short-term productivity losses but there no guarantee that the productivity gains you will have in the distant future will match what we had in the last two or three decades. that is what bond markets are telling you. francine: do you believe that china can withhold that, how long can they hang in with the trade? seen it., we have not growth, i think that the trade war and the new tariffs going up in the next two or three quarters, very soon, by mid to next year, china's growth will drop below 5.5%. not long that china could hang on 6% growth. francine: would you agree with that? >> that's probably going to be hard to achieve heading into next year. i think that's a very important angle. the trade war is actually prompting china to accelerate rebalancing, focus more on the domestic side. it is just accelerating the path in which it makes china's growth more sustainable. we will take it. francine: policymakers no matter what are forced to respond because of the elongated trade war. does the interest rate cut helped

pennsylvania, ohio, michigan, wisconsin, places that are fairly skeptical of trade deals anyway. if he holds those states he probably holds onto the white house. you cannot decouple these issues. tom: the view from singapore on the pacific rim and the ramifications from the trade war. we now begin a four hour conversation with michelle meyer , bank of america merrill lynch head of u.s. economics. her original claim in the housing economics area, which we will avoid because of the news flow. his bank of america merrill lynch going to adjust down your xl spreadsheet because of yesterday afternoon? michelle: it creates some decent downside risk to growth. the challenge in forecasting this year as we are continuously reacting these exogenous event and one is around trade. we have to account for these tweets and potential changes to policy will impact uncertainty and business investment and terms of trade globally. billion is not$3 a large dollar amount but what matters is what it does to confidence. if the tariffs go through, the risks are we see weaker growth. tom: the 30 year german yield just
