He said he wasnt going to run but the reality was he was not closing that possibility. Where are we from there, from here . About that much closer. He filed in alabama, because there was filing deadline the last state. Stuart that tipped his hand. Didnt mean he was jumping in, but some of the things you have to do . Some of the things he has to do. He still my not run. That doesnt mean he is definitely running. We do know, the stuff weve been reporting, he is dismayed by the fact that the party is being taken over by the radical left. You know, it has gone way beyond anything that, remember Hillary Clinton started running to the left when she was faced with a pry mary challenge in 2016 from Bernie Sanders. The party, nominal frontrunner is Elizabeth Warren who is so far to the left of Hillary Clinton the party will be unrecognizable. They believe, not only if she does become the nominee, looks increasingly likely biden is fading a little bit. If thee becomes the nominee, she would lose to trump, if could win, she would hurt the economy. She is proposing numbers that dont add up. Say what you want about donald trump, tax cuts, deregulation. Tax cut may lead to deficits but they spur the economy. They are part and parcel of capitalism. What she is doing upending of the capitalist system. Many mainstream democrats who are business people, youve been hearing it, gates, jamie dimon. Neil distinguishing in his case, the bloombergs case the others are complaining, with bill gates, pay 20 billion, 10 billion in taxes but dont want to pay a hundred billion, leon cooperman and a lot of people, we do a lot of good, i give a lot to philanthropy. Paul tudor jones, comes out, the somebody like Elizabeth Warren gets elected, the market will crash, bloomberg carried to the next level. Im wondering in the case of wall street whether its a jump ball for them because you would have, you know, a business guy coming in for a business guy . If for example they would like him to run obviously. Couple things we should just, little reality check here. Mike bloomberg galvanizes the progressive left. There is no doubt. He is a billionaire. He is a wall street guy. This could help Elizabeth Warren. A lot of Democratic Party leaders including chuck schumer. Last night neil opposite effect. Chuck schumer intimated at a fundraiser. The second thing is bidens people. They have not thrown in the towel just yet, what they tell me, i spoke to several this morning, Mike Bloomberg does not have deep inroads into the Africanamerican Community. Quite the opposite, despite the fact he was a new york city mayor. They say he never had strong relations with various africanamerican leaders and he still doesnt. This primary they believe could be won, Democratic Party through a southern strategy of blacks in the south. Joe biden is positioned to win those, that voting bloc and Mike Bloomberg isnt. So that is what theyre going to hit back. Obviously theyre worried that their guy may not be up to the task. If he does have a good debate, they say if he has a good debate very hard for biden to get in. Neil bloomberg. For bloomberg, if biden has a good debate. One other thing he will put together a coalition of africanamerican politicians. Biden coming next two weeks t will be pretty hard for anybody to match that. That coalition is, is the biggest voting bloc in the Democratic Party. It is bigger than woke white liberals. Neil wish we had more time. Well grab you back in the second hour. The notion it is about who has delegates on the first ballot. The math stands now, nobody captures on the first ballot. Right. Neil if that is a case there might be a method to bloomberg. No doubt. He has, look at it this way, he is, let me get this right, he is five times richer than trump pretends to be. Trump has said 10 billion net worth. He is not, okay . Neil we dont know that for sure. I will bet my hand that he is not. Neil i will take that bet, raise your other hand. I want to see his tax returns first. Neil okay. Mike bloomberg is liquid at 50 billion, liquid. He is really look quid at 20 billion. From what i understand he has that in treasury bonds. Fight that. That is hard. Neil mice commercials. Three times elected mayor of new york city. Thank you very, very much. President trump is sizing up Michael Bloombergs white house chances and he is not impressed. Little michael will fail. He will spend a lot of money. He has some really big issues. He has got some personal problems and he has a lot of other problems but i know Michael Bloomberg fairly well, not too well, well enough, he will not do very well. If he did i would be happy. There is nobody i would rather run against than little michael. Neil apparently well, not too well, well enough but the president already making it clear with comment like little michael he is ready to do battle with the multibillionaire if need be. Mcclatchy correspondent, francesca chambers. Where is this going . President said he would rather run against nobody else like Michael Bloomberg. He would love to run against Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren to push argument of socialism or not someone like Mike Bloomberg or joe biden as easily. Well see how the president feels in a few months if Michael Bloomberg gets in. We dont know if that will happen. Neil raises issues about former new york mayor without going into detail about them. Obviously he has got a file on the guy. He is ready to use it, as he has effectively in the past against republican opponents and Hillary Clinton. He is a shrewd campaigner. Trying to plant seeds of doubt in the American Public. Is he worried about him . You dont want to do that too early, neither, either . He is not in yet. You wait to see if he gets and unload your Opposition Research on him. President may not even have to do that. Democrats who been in states like iowa and been in states like new hampshire, they have been on the ground been doing the work listening to voters. They believe like andrew yang, he said this today, Michael Bloomberg wont be able to catch up. There is a more imminent deadline, neil. Which talked about the filing deadlines earlier. New hampshire, next friday, november 15th. He will have to make a decision quick. Neil lets say he is doing all this. This was sort of, telegraphed because he had to get the paperwork in for alabama, which is one of the earlier states you have to file for it is on super tuesday, sometime after iowa and new hampshire. But he is, he is just sort of making sure he has everything in case he does run. Invariably hear from people, francesca. Dont think he will run. Bloomberg always teases this, backs away from this. How likely is that . Is that what progressives certainly in the party are hoping . More likely than someone like Hillary Clinton at this point who teased a run couple times who has not filed any paperwork in those states. He is taking steps to leave the door open in case joe biden fails as a candidate or Pete Buttigieg doesnt pick up the middle ground or Amy Klobuchar. Leaving the door open is lot more than he was doing before by filing paperwork. Neil quickly, number of wall streeters, they are not red or blue. They are green. They love money. They dont care whether it is a democrat or republican as long as causes they espouse are good for the markets. That is why they liked bill clinton and like this president. They like bloomberg. They like the combination in the city, his own business acumen. Net worth north of 50 billion as charlie gasparino. He is successful at it. A fiscal conservative, a social liberal, they can deal with that i dont know if that side of him is appreciated enough, wall street might welcome his candidacy . Appreciative to whom . Within the Democratic Party at this point there is a big split oaf this issue. Bernie sanders and Elizabeth Warren raised money from small dollar donors. Meanwhile joe biden is raising from big dollar donors but hasnt been raising that much comparatively. Only 15 million in the last quarter. Neil is there concern in the party, a lot of candidates, frontrunners like Elizabeth Warren are too progressive. Neil right and they will hurt the partys chances anyway . Why someone like Michael Bloomberg thinks he can get in the race at this point. Joe bidens numbers are flagging. Buttigieg is increasing numbers. Nationally, he and Amy Klobuchar are still, theyre in the middle, theyre not up with that Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren level. Maybe Michael Bloomberg says i see room for me in this race. Neil well see. Thank you, francesca. Thanks, neil. Neil president arriving in georgia for a fundraiser. He is trying to court africanamerican voters. Steve harrigan follows this closely. He joins us right now. Reporter neil in a few hours time we expect the president here at a new voter outreach, black voices for trump. The room holds 350 people. Theyre doing sound checks right now. The president touting record low unemployment numbers for black americans. Some a africanamerican conservatives say such a visit is long overdue. When donald trump want to talk to veterans he goes to veterans. Christians, he goes to christians. Women, he goes to women. So he want to talk to black americans. So he is coming to us. So i dont think it is fake. I dont think it is phony. Reporter georgia democrats held some counterprograming this morning, holding a press conference, listing the ways they say President Trumps agenda has hurt the black community. Today donald trump bringing his backwards agenda to georgia to pretend like his actions have not been a disaster for the black community and marginalized communities across the entire country. In georgia we know better. Donald Trump Administration made an allout assault on people of color. Reporter getting more africanamerican votes for republicans in georgia could be a challenge. In the last governors election in 2018, 94 of africanamericans here voted democrat. Neil, back to you. Neil thank you very much, steve harrigan.

He will talk up advancements under his administration, particularly for minorities and africanamericans. He sort of gets a split read from the communities. The fact of the matter is he will certainly pound that. He has been very good for them. Record low unemployment levels for latino americans, africanamericans, for women, you name it. On that something he wants to constantly pound to make them away, as he was saying in his first race for president , what the hell have you got to lose . That is a theme he will pound relentlessly. Meantime stocks are dropping after the president cast some doubts on tariff roadblock. Is it happening, is it not happening . Will he lift them as chinese say he will . Blake burman following all of that at white house. Reporter neil, we said all this related to tariffs was mapped out. We heard the president today he seemed to potentially shut the door on potential roll back of tariffs. We heard him a little while ago on the south lawn. Chinese sources told us they wanted altiris rolled back in phases. We heard from larry kudlow said publicly on the record, if there was phase one trade deal there would be some concession of tariffs so it is still a bit up in the air exactly when it comes to potentially roll back tariffs how it all might work out in a trade deal with china. The president a little while ago, made it clear he does not want to see a complete pullback. Listen. Think would like a roll back. China would like a complete roll back. They know i would not do it. Were getting along very well with china. They frankly want to make a deal a lot more than i do. Im happy right now. Were taking in billions of dollars. Im very happy. China would like to make a deal much more than i would. Reporter u. S. , chinese negotiators are working to hammer out a phase one deal. President trump and president xi were supposed to meet in chile. Asked earlier this morning if he would end up meeting with xi this year, meaning this month or next month. The president would not commit to a time frame. Well see what happens. Were getting along very well. They want to make a deal far more than i do. Reporter so the president also said, neil he would like to have a signing, a phase one signing either in iowa or in farm country. Also adding that that signing would take place somewhere in the u. S. A reminder neil, as it stands right now, no date, time frame for a date. The president now today noncommit when the two can meet. There is issue of tariffs. That is not a small issue, neil. That is a big one. That is probably why you see market not taking too kindly what was said out on the south lawn this morning. Neil what is the president s view on tariffs . Is he going to lift them or not . I couldnt figure it out. Reporter remember he is a tariff man, right . That was the tweet he had sent out. Folks i see in the white house constantly remind couple things. One at the end of the day this is the president s decision. At two this is someone believes from tariffs, from him, but, you know, he mentioned not having a complete roll back but again, neil, china talking about phases. We know there is a phase one deal. The president acknowledged that there is phases, potential tariffs come december 15th, if there is not a deal but the u. S. Would roll those off. If there is a deal. What about the tariffs that have already gone into place . Its a whole lot of questions, neil. And as i often remind this is a big, complicated deal with lots of puzzle pieces to it. Today we got one piece of it but there is still so much more out there, neil. Neil youre right about that. Blake burman at the white house. If any of that changes, blake is the goto guy for an update. Scott sanbourne says consumers have not felt direct impact of trade tensions just yet but they may if this drags on. It is interesting, scott, to your point, whether matter of chinese tee valuing currency or devaluing currency or sucking it up not to pass it on to consumers, consumers foot the bill regardless. When does the impact hit home or has it . Right now where the tariffs are hitting not directly on the majority of the consumer goods and consumers right now are feeling pretty good. Confidence is high. Of wages are increasing for the first time in a long time. Unemployment is low. So theyre continuing to be a real source of strength for the economy overall. Neil so, the president , dangling this possibility that you know, the tariffs wont be lifted right away, is that to scare chinese into still more concessions. S. How would you look at it . Hard to get insight into the president s negotiating strategy. The markets on the other side are anxious. Seeing a lot of reaction in the Public Markets where will this go, how long will it take, what are the implications for u. S. Businesses. Neil you know it is remarkable the economy held up as well as it has throughout all of this. Makes you wonder if we didnt have the back and forth where we would be, what do you think . I think we would be further ahead but i agree with your assessment. I go back to what i said earlier is the real source of strength in the economy continues to be the u. S. Consumer. That is where youre seeing spending. That is driving growth were getting. Neil scott, thank you very much. Watch it closely. Scott sanbourne following all of this. Mickey making a whole lot of money.
