Even how many hamburgers you can eat. They want to defund the police and take away Second Amendment rights. They want Free Health Care for illegal immigrants. Yet they offer no protection for unborn americans. They want to pack the Supreme Court with liberals. Thiswant to codify all of by making the swamp itself, washington, d. C. Americas 51st state. With two more liberal senators, we cannot undo the damage they have done. Democratsderstand why spent an entire week telling us about who joe biden is, not what he intends to do. I am immensely proud of the work the Republican Senate has done. We are the firewall against nest Nancy Pelosis agenda. We will not be bullied by a liberal media intent on destroying americas institutions. We will stand our post on behalf of millions of americans whose stories are told in americas newspapers whose struggles are just as real. We will continue to support American Families as we defeat the coronavirus and return our economy to the envy of the world. The stakes have never been higher is why i am asking you to support Republican Senate candidates across the country and we elect my friend resident donald trump. That was mitch mcconnell. President trump will formally accept his nomination this evening. Among those appearing will be ivanka trump and a range of speakers addressing National Security, law and order, and the economy. Kenosha,persist in wisconsin after the Police Shooting of jacob blake. We will also hear about criminal Justice Reform and what President Trump has done for black americans. With us throughout our coverage are bloomberg correspondence. Listening to mitch mcconnell, who is up for reelection, he is making his case. We have heard throughout this convention, things that im not sure what the evidence is for. For instance, they will take away your Second Amendment rights. Or they will tell you how many hamburgers you can eat. I am perplexed. That is a new one to me. We have heard that repeatedly. Arguments trying to paint joe biden into the corner of being a socialist progressive. To listen, you would think he is a communist. If we know anything about joe biden, he is very moderate in terms of his voting record. Its almost as if they want to run against someone like Bernie Sanders and they ended up with joe biden and they have had to adjust their playbook. It is obviously an attempt to speak to the base and get the base out. Both sides are getting to get fighting to get their base out. Campaigns. These tot do you do to get back where you think you are . Evaluate whether the lies you are being told deserves to be responded to. The democrats are going through every day at this convention deciding what they are going to respond to. As you saw today, joe biden and Kamala Harris were out in the public talking about the lies that they felt needed to be corrected. Playbook forical politics at this time of a president ial campaign. Thank you both. Now lets turn to our chief washington correspondent at the white house. What is going to happen with the senate . First saidcconnell he wasnt going to speak at the convention, then he ultimately decided to speak. He is in a tough Senate Reelection fight. Kentucky where the polls have tightened over the summer. Look no further than iowa where a republican senator who also spoke of the convention, a veteran, someone with military experience who is largely seen as the future of the Republican Party, she is in a tough fight with a progressive farleft candidate. Running onenfield is the Elizabeth Warren platform. With regards to trade and agriculture, progressives deal they can make up ground there. Also, senator tom cottons upper reelection. ,hen, senator Lindsey Graham the political maverick. He now finds himself in that with a democrat Jamie Harrison who is raising. He is an africanamerican businessman who came from poverty and appended the South Carolina race. We always knew the republicans would have a tougher time because they have more seats being contended. At the same time, they have their candidate. They have to embrace him. They cant run against him. If remarkable. Back during Brett Kavanaughs confirmation, everyone was looking at people like senator Susan Collins who has the potential to navigate the treacherous political waters. It is typical at any convention for the incumbent to have to face dodges from members of their own party in terms of folks running and more moderate states that want to distance themselves. Beyond that, this is my final point, the down ballot races are going to decide not just the direction of policy but also procedure for several years. A superemocrats obtain majority and the white house, the filibuster rule can be thrown out the window. That could have severe implications when you have former president obama saying he would want to get rid of some of the Senate Procedural rules and budget majority vote. So much is at stake, not just who is going to win the white house. David thats a powerful point. Kevin will be with us throughout the evening. For more on what we can expect from President Trump, lets ring in bring in our white house reporter. Based off of expert excerpts from earlier, we expect president to hit joe biden pretty hard on china and immigration. We expect him to paint joe biden as a vessel of the radical wing of the Democrat Party. The president will paint himself as a defender of traditional american values. David thank you. We will be coming back to you later. Rick, what are you expecting from the president tonight . What does he need to do or want to do . First, he will do a victory lap. He will say i kept my promise is. I cut taxes. I changed regulation. I built a border wall. Hes going to rip through that stuff because after all, in his mind, he has kept his promises to his voters. Then, i think he is going to take a good shot at joe biden. I think he is going to try to capture this theme we have seen all week that joe biden is the liberal left of the democratic party. He cant even speak his own mind without checking with Bernie Sanders. That those policies are going to create a bifurcated america. A Joe Biden America which is dangerous and risky and a place full of crime and upheaval. Then, the donald Trump America which having been a part of the reagan campaign, i think he is going to take morning in america one step further. You are going to see that kind of bifurcation process. Where he winds up, the big question is, how much will he stick his neck out for the next four years in what he is willing to promise to get a second term . He is running against himself. He is the incumbent. We know that President Trump is much more comfortable running as a challenger. Embracing this incumbency has been a challenge. Oflikes to embrace the look it, but the owning of what happens in wisconsin happens under your watch is hard for him. Thats what i am most interested to see. I cant remember a convention where the country was facing so many crises at the same time. Not just the hurricane, but the pandemic, and economy in turmoil, and racial unrest. The president simply cant ignore those. Hashe addresses those in he been the president through the pandemic, the racial unrest. Many believe that he stoked the racial unrest. I am curious to see how he threads the needle. Up, part of my interview with wilbur ross. This is coverage of the Republican National convention. David welcome back to special coverage of the Republican National convention. President trump came to office promising to change u. S. Trade relations around the world. We have a report on what he got done in the first four years. Trade has dominated the narrative for this president. He has relied heavily on tariffs. He has favored bilateral rather than multilateral trade. We got a phase one trade deal with china. He has heavily touted that. It came at a cost. You spoke to someone about that earlier this week. People give him credit for confronting china. China is a known bad actor. The Obama Administration had not yielded anything really. I think it was a negative point of view of maintaining momentum. The trade war has been incredibly disruptive. From a supply chain perspective as well as Financial Markets. Last week, both sides reaffirmed their commitment to the deal. China still has a long way to go to fulfill its promises. If you look at the 171 billion worth of goods they are supposed to bite, they have only bought 28 of that target. Buy 130d need to billion more by the end of this year to fill their initial promises. Aside from trade, there are plenty of other tensions with china. Data, hong kong, and the South China Sea. We try to plot the attitude toward china on a chart relative to what President Trump has been and what President Biden could be as well as president obama could be. They found that president obama was in a procedural engagement camp. Joe biden they think would be somewhere in the middle. President trump is in the unpredictable containment camp. If theres anything we know about the markets, they do not like unpredictability or uncertainty especially when it comes to the world two largest economies. David that is a great chart. Earlier today, i spoke with wilbur ross for his views on the Trump Administrations approach trade and what we could expect in a possible second term. In terms of china, a lot has been accomplished. Side, weforcement really have been enforcing quite vigorously. You will familiar with the actions taken on huawei. Zte, twons taken on Major Telecom companies. We have been working very hard on the Semi Conductor side of things. While china does have technology, we still have the best Software Design and the best fabrication equipment for Semi Conductors. Were trying to avoid them taking unfair advantage of our technology. Technology is really important because while protecting things like steel and aluminum help take care of todays world, Health Technology is tomorrows world. Thats a big deal. Recently, we put on the entity sincef 500 companies 2017. An awful lot of those are chinese companies. That is because they are the ones that seem to be doing the most to violate sanctions. To violate human rights watch. Most recently, to create problems and hong kong. Though that has been a big series. Then of course, you have the tariffs. That weion 301 tariffs imposed on china. The cumulative effect of all of thenis enormously greater the longterm cumulative effect of everything that had been done before trump. David speaking of china and technology, we have the tiktok issue that is pending. Various companies have expressed an interest. I am told microsoft, walmart, and oracle have expressed an interest. What are the criteria you use in deciding if any of these make sense from the point of view from the u. S. . The fundamental idea is that we dont want detailed, personal information on all of our teenage children who are the main users of tiktok. Informationt that to become part of a big chinese database to use to infiltrate our country. That is the principal objective. Whether it should be microsoft or oracle or someone else, that is more for the private sector to decide. People are essentially operating in the u. S. And a couple of other nonchinese countries. Tiktok as i understand it does not really operate in china. There would be no particular as at on chinese apps result of whatever we do with tiktok. My own personal preference would be to have tiktok acquired by one of these american companies. I think that would have the ofnge benefit not only helping from a National Security point of view but creating more competition in the areas of facebook and social media. That is a healthy thing. Competition is a very good thing. Thats kind of what makes american industry thrive. That was part of my interview with wilbur ross. For more on china, welcome tom mackenzie. Just to respond to what wilbur ross was saying, there is fromit side to the actions the u. S. Especially on technology. They have taken a sledgehammer to huawei. The flipside is that china has doubled down on its own indigenous innovation spending on things like r d particularly in semiconductors. Gears away from catching up with the u. S. On sophisticated ships. The other thing that has been a has been the military maneuvers between china and the u. S. Over the last 45 days. The Chinese Military says they have expelled a guided missile worship from the South China Sea. After the warship entered that area. Apparently, china sent its own navy to blow it out of the waters. That is after china fired missiles. A u. S. Spy plane flew over a nofly zone in northern china. The military tensions are clear. They have been in the spotlight this week. Then, you get an accident that leads to military conflagration. Something military expert. 2 as a potential risk in the South China Sea and the taiwan strait. Always great to have you with us. Theng up, more from Republican National content convention. Is coverage of the rnc on bloomberg tv and radio. David welcome back to special coverage of the rnc. We are waiting now for ben carson and his remarks. On benhave any thoughts carson . Yes. His remarks are keeping with what we have seen throughout the convention which is they are trying to make the case that the democrats claim that the Republican Party is racist is not true. Night,e henderson last vernon jones, and probably dr. Ben carson who is not only a neurosurgeon but also has led hud for President Trump. I think he is going to serve several roles including paying testament to the fact he has worked with the president and he knows the president in a way that most people dont. It is also important not only leading hud given what is going on with the pandemic that this renowned neurosurgeon can speak to that. David thank you. Now we go to the convention and dr. Ben carson. I am a retired neurosurgeon and a public servant. Before i begin, i would like to say that our hearts go out to the blake family and the other families who have been impacted by the tragic events in kenosha. As jacobs mother has urged the country, lets use our hearts, our love, and our intelligence to Work Together to show the rest of the world how humans are supposed to treat each other. America is great when we behave greatly. In order to succeed and change, we must first come together in love of our fellow citizens. History reminds us that necessary change comes through hope and love, not senseless and destructive violence. To anm lincoln once said america divided that your purpose plainly stated is that you will destroy the government unless you be allowed to construe and enforce the constitution as you please on all points of dispute between you and us. You will rule or ruin in all events. These words of warning are relevant today. We have a choice. Do we want Big Government that controls our lives from cradle to grave . Or do we believe in the power and wisdom of the people and their ability to self govern with help from a limited federal government . Trump,sident, donald j. Believes in the people. He is one of us. He makes promises and he keeps them. Weis transparent and certainly know what he is thinking. He does not submit to Political Correctness or to its enforcers, the media. He is real. Right now, we need real. We need courage. Corner andwer in the hope that no one calls us a name , believing that will keep us safe. That is not courage. That will not lead us to a good and just place. Thoset remember all of who sacrificed everything in order to give us freedom. We must be willing to do the same for those who come after us. President trump does not dabble in identity politics. He wants everyone to succeed and believes in the adage a rising tide lifts all boats. Many on the other side love to incite division. Years ago, Jesse Jackson gave donald trump untoward for the Economic Opportunities he created for black people. In palm beach florida, donald trump lead the crusade to allow blacks and juice into private. Lubs and resorts one of the first things he did was to bring historically black colleges and universities into the white house so they could get proper financial support. For the pandemic, africanamerican employment was at an alltime low. President trump accomplished prison reform. He created incentives to encourage investors to become involved with economically deprived areas of america. He strongly supports school choice. Fully recognizing that no matter what circumstances a person is born into, they can achieve success with a good education. It was true for me. When my mother forced me to read books about doctors, entrepreneurs, inventors, and scientists, i began to recognize that the person who has the most to do with what happens to you in life is you. Ben,ther always told me you can do anything, but i
