BLOOMBERG With All Due Respect July 31, 2016

In her own words in the top of the ticket in philadelphia. Hillary clinton just ask yourselves, do you really think donald trump has the temperament to become commanderinchief . Donald trump cannot even handle the rough and tumble of a president ial campaign. He loses his cool at the slightest provocation when he , has gotten a tough question from a reporter, when he is challenged in a debate, when he sees a protester at the rally, imagine if you dare imagine, imagine him in the oval Office Facing a real crisis. A man you can bait with the tweet is not the man we can trust with nuclear weapons. [cheering] Hillary Clinton i cant put it , i cant put it any better than Jackie Kennedy did after the cuban missile crisis. She said that what worried president kennedy doing that very dangerous time was that a war might be started. Not by big men with selfcontrol and restraint, but by little men, the ones moved by fear and pride. [applause] Hillary Clinton americas strength does not come from lashing out. It relies on smarts, judgment, cool resolve and the precise and strategic application of power, and that is the kind of commanderinchief i pledge to be. [cheering] Hillary Clinton if we are serious about keeping our country safe, we also cant afford to have a president who is in the pocket of the gun lobby. [cheering] Hillary Clinton i am not here to repeal the second amendment. I am not here to take away your guns. I just dont want you to be shot by someone who should not have a gun in the first place. [cheering] Hillary Clinton we will work tirelessly with responsible gun owners to pass commonsense reforms and keep guns out of the hands of criminals, terrorists, and all others who would do us harm. For decades, people have said this issue was too hard to solve in the politics, too hot to touch. But i ask you, how can we stand by and do nothing . You heard, you saw family members of People Killed by gun violence on this stage. You heard, you saw family members of Police Officers killed in the line of duty because they were outgunned by criminals. I refuse to believe we cannot find Common Ground here. We have to heal the divides in our country, not just on guns, but on race, immigration, and more. [applause] Hillary Clinton and that starts with listening, listening to each other trying as best we can , to walk in each others shoes, so lets put ourselves in the shoes of young black and latino men and women who face the effective systemic racism and are made to feel like their lives are disposable. Cheering] Hillary Clinton lets put ourselves in the shoes of Police Officers kissing their kids and spouses goodbye every day, heading off to do a dangerous and necessary job. We will reform our criminal Justice System from end to end and rebuild trust between Law Enforcement and the communities they serve. [applause] Hillary Clinton and we will defend we will defend our , rights, civil rights, human rights and voting rights, womens rights and workers rights, lgbt writes and rights and the rights of people with disabilities. [cheering] Hillary Clinton and we will stand up against mean and divisive rhetoric wherever it comes from. For the past year, many people made the mistake of blocking off laughing off Donald Trumps comments, excusing him as an entertainer just putting on a show. They thought he could not possibly mean all the horrible things he says, like when he called women takes or said that an american judge cannot be fair because of his mexican heritage, or when he mocked and mimicked a reporter with a disability or insults prisoners of war like john mccain, a hero and patriot who deserves our respect. Now at first, i admit, i cannot could not believe he meant it either. It was just too hard to fathom that someone who wants to lead our nation could say those things, could be like that, but heres the sad truth. There is no other donald trump. This is it. And in the end, it comes down to what donald trump does not get. America is great because america is good. [applause] Hillary Clinton enough with the bigotry and the bombast. Donald trump does not offer real change. He is offering empty promises. And what are we offering . A bold agenda to improve the lives of people across our country to keep you safe, to get you good jobs, to get your kids the opportunities they deserve. The choice is clear, my friends. Every generation of americans has come together to make our country freer, fairer, and stronger. None of us ever have or can do it alone. I know that at a time when so much seems to be pulling this pulling us apart, it can be hard to imagine how we will ever pull together. But im here to tell you tonight progress is possible. , i know because i have seen it in the lives of people across america who get knocked down and get right back up, and i know it , i know it from my own life. More than a few times, i have had to pick myself up and get back in the game. [cheering] Hillary Clinton like so much else in my life, i got this from my mother too. She never let me back down from any challenge. When i tried to hide from a neighborhood bully, she literally blocked the door. Go back out there, she said. And she was right. You have to stand up to bullies. You have to keep working to make things better, even when the odds are long and the opposition is fierce. Mark still ahead bernie , sanderss Campaign Manager jeff weaver talks about getting sender supporters to fall in line at the dnc. Brotherly love is sweltering today. Temperatures in the mid90s and a humidity of well over 100 . Joining us to talk about this hot mess of the convention rollout, Bernie Sanders Campaign Manager jeff weaver. I have my gavel, and i will hit hit you to answer honestly once. You said a lot of people per sanders will not be for Hillary Clinton. At this convention, are these guys still within your control . Jeff nobody is under anybodys control. It is a Democratic Convention. It is going to be a raucous convention. It will be great. We will come out unified, beat donald trump, elect Hillary Clinton, and we will go forward. Mark so far, there has been a lot of chanting of bernie and it is by your people. We know you cannot control them, but what can you do to help them . Jeff we sent them emails, texts, encourage them to act with a certain level of the decorum. Mark but it hasnt worked so far. They would like to see clinton go. Jeff i have not been on the floor yet. Mark they are chanting for bernie and against her. John they were chanting lock her up earlier. Jeff i cant do anything about that. Mark can you do anything to quiet the people beyond the text . Jeff as the Convention Goes on, as people get into the spirit of unity, you will see change. John just to get to the broader question what you say mark . There was a time when Bernie Sanders was the leader of the movement. Beck to the same question, has the movement now is the movement , out of the barn door . This movement does not have a leader now. It has a life force of its own. Jeff it certainly does and always has. Bernie sanders did not create the movement. The movement was people in this country who were upset about status quo. He did galvanize it and became the face of the movement, but you know as he said, this is never about one candidate or one campaign. John what does it matter if the if he endorses her tonight . Jeff i think he is extremely influential with the people who love supported him and the fact that he is supporting her, why he has laid out the case to work with her, defeat drum, is very persuasive with many people. Mark the speech is not done yet. I do adding things now to try to deal with what happens to senator sanders what has already happened in the hall . Jeff he writes speeches up to the last minute. So i am sure will incorporate the current events. Mark is he aware of the fact that this is unexpectedly volatile . We side with our own knives this afternoon. Jeff i would not say unexpectedly volatile. I would not use that characterization. John is he expecting when he ,oes to say to the delegates where he says i endorse Hillary Clinton, you should support her, there will be half of the Convention Hall booing . Jeff no. John it seems like obvious that it will. Mark superman number one. Jeff that ray was not just delegates. There were other people in their in there as well. I think the delegates are a subset of the people in that room. John do you feel as though his endorsement of tim kaine was wholehearted . Jeff well i think it was an honest endorsement of tim kaine. I think it is extremely important to point out that whatever reservations people have about tim kaine, on his worst days, as sanders said, he raised 10 times better than donald trump, so yes, i do. John one thing we like about you is your specific. You are pretty calm. I am trying to get a sense of how you feel about what is going on here where your supporters are threatening to disrupt at least part of the convention. Are you in different, are you sad, are you angry . Confused . Jeff i am always calm on the outside. Mark what is going on inside . Jeff i hope people behave respectively. Mark how do you feel about it . Jeff i hope people behave respectively. John are you in turmoil, happy . Serious question what do you , feel . Jeff i feel like i wish people would act with some decorum and i will try to make that happen. John i think probably you are mostly hungry. Jeff i am a little hungry. I will not say it is not true. Mark is there a role for senator sanders here this week after tonight . Jeff absolutely, yes. Mark what would that be . Jeff i think it is a part of his unifying function that he is going to be playing and bringing people together. Mark what will he be doing daytoday . Jeff speaking that delegation breakfasts, meeting with different groups of people, so john he built and extraordinary grassroots fundraising neck and is a. Will he be using that full shoulder, the list and mechanism he built to try to raise money for her . Jeff there are some discussions now about what exactly that will look like. John we would like to hear about that. Jeff i hate to talk about them. Mark where will they end up . Jeff you never know. John what are the areas of discussion . Jeff they would like him to obviously send some emails to their list. John why wouldnt they do that if he endorses her . Why isnt he already on board. Jeff he is not a good negotiator. Mark they are not saying boo, they are saying been. John why is he withholding this one thing . Jeff that is your characterization, withholding. John you said he was not a good negotiator. Mark every time secretary clinton is mentioned, your people are booing. That going to canoe continue throughout the four days . Jeff i hope not. John if you really want to make people think he is for her, jeff weaver, actually raise the flag. Thank you for coming. Mark when we come back, our conversation with senator bob casey. Our next guest uses used to his Convention Speech last night to welcome a democratic candidate. Senator, thank you for joining us. Bob great to be with you guys. Mark if i put you in a room with 12 sanders supporters, not a diehard ones but still unhappy, what would you say . Senator casey i would focus on the middle class. At theng hillary said beginning of her campaign as you put it on her website, defining, and i am paraphrasing, defining economic challenges raising , income for hardworking americans, i think that is the place with a lot of unity, and i think it was the focus of hillarys campaign and bernies as well. It is an economic message. John by the time of this rollcall, will we have actual unity, or the perception of unity . Bob we will be be well on the way the unity but there will be work after this. I do not think unity occurs at a magic moment in the convention. It will take some work. My sense of this, i do not have data to back it up, but my sense is we will have to spend more time this summer focusing on younger voters, for example, as one group, but i think we will get there. A lot of that is drawing the contrast, which is plainly evident between the two candidates. Mark we just saw moments ago senator sanders brother who lives overseas cast his vote. The dnc, evidence now released pretty clearly that people at the dnc supported Hillary Clinton, favored her in the process. In real time, we suck senator we saw senator sanders asked for more debates and Hillary Clinton asking for a few her. She got her way. Do feel comfortable saying the dnc favored Hillary Clinton during the nomination process . Bob i dont know enough about the content of the emails, but the question is there has to be accountability in the potential violations. But what we have to do now is focus on winning the general election. Mark you dont know enough to say the Democratic Party favored Hillary Clinton . Bob i have not read enough. The reporting seems to be good. Mark does that outrage you that your party would favor one candidate over the others . Bob it will outrage me if there is not accountability, but i think there is time to impose that kind of accountability. Mark what kind of things would you look for to say . Bob that is up to i am not a dnc mechanic. That is not my job. What i have got to do now is sure we win pennsylvania. And she will, by the way. John you think . Lets talk about that. There are polls in your state that has shown a very, very close race. Why are you as confident about pennsylvania as you are . Bob because of who the candidate is and who the candidate is on the other side. Our state is always relatively close. Last time, the president won by i wouldat it expect it to be close. But i think she will win mostly because of the undecided voters because of that basic choice not , just between the candidates, but the two with national and economic security, i think hillary will do quite well. It will be a battle. We have got to get ready. Mark in the end, do you donald trump will do better in pennsylvania than mitt romney . Bob slightly but not enough to , win. Mark why . Why is he more appealing to your voters . Bob it might be because his focus on the trade issue is one reason, and we still have to make sure that people know that there is a basic difference. I mean you are talking about a candidate in terms of trump who has no economic plan that i can point to that focuses on the fundamentals of what the middle class has been concerned about in this idea that i think has been very elusive for both parties. How do put together a strategy to raise wages . The epi, Economic Policy institute showing after world war ii, wages went up into the 1970s, 92 . 9 for the next 40 years. We have a challenge that we got to meet. John you are a good friend of president obama. You played basketball with him at various times. Have you talked to at all about what he thinks about the speech he will give tomorrow night . Bob i have not. Last time we talked was about National Security and those kinds of issues. I think youll figure it out. I will say he has got a high bar to meet after the first lady speech last night. John that is true. What is the brief breach of them for each of them in the highprofile speeches the next two nights . Bob for president clinton, i hope he would give a speech similar to what he gave on the road in pennsylvania, which is a validation of not just her service but how she improve the timelives at from she was a young advocate all the way to secretary of state. For president obama, maybe more of an emphasis on her time as secretary of state. Mark we are going to go down to the floor. Lewis is speaking on behalf of Hillary Clinton. Thank you so much. Georgia, you have cast 87 votes for secretary clinton and 29 votes for senator sanders. Thank you again. Qualm guam mark thank you for hosting us. John still ahead, president former communication director. Our party has chosen a man to lead us who represents the best of our party. That man is john kerry. He will never sacrifice our basic liberty or use faith as a wedge to divide us. Mark that was either barack obama or his son making a speech. Joining us now, a democratic strategist. How is the Convention Going so far . I think it is telling the story of the candidate, what kind of country the candidate sees. They had a low bar after cleveland last week. I think that bar was cleared about the time they gaveled open. The first two nights of dumbing have done a great job in illustrated some basic things about Hillary Clinton that get lost in the campaign. What is in the mind of barack obama as he gears up to do this speech . To make the best case for why Hillary Clinton should be elected president. That is his focus. It is a focus about why this election is so important and he is someone who stays at very, very focused on the main issue here. There is also a part of the speech which will need to address where we have been as a country and where we are going. What is it that defines this job as one only Hillary Clinton is going to fill. Mark the lead story, i predict, will not be about barack obama or bill clinton. It will be about russia. Are voters likely to learn anything about what is happening in his convention as opposed to what is going on with Vladimir Putin . I think everyone has looked at the ratings this week. They have been very encouraging in terms of people tuning in to hear these speeches. With the late news tonight
