2:06 pm
i am mark crumpton, this is bloomberg. shery: mark, thank you. let's get back to donald trumps big economic speech, here is a quick highlights. on top of halting new financial regulations, donald trump lower the top individual tax rate to 33% trade he would also cut corporate taxes and 35% to 15%. reporterspolitics were watching the speech and sahil kapur joins us for more. did we get enough details? sahil: we saw he changed his top proposed tax rate to 33%, that brings them in line with house speaker paul ryan. we thought and propose a moratorium on new financial regulations, something the financial industry will really like. this is something that ultimately amounts to this
quote
2:07 pm
entire speech really amounts to a big all of branch to republican elites elected officials, and donors. he spent the last week feuding goldstar his bat with parents and last week he landed in a feud with paul ryan and john mccain saying he wouldn't endorse them. this is kind of an attempt to move past that. slipping in the polls, and this is an attempt to bring his campaign back on track. --ry: is it implantable implementable? sahil: the parts he outlined today are the parts the republicans in congress will like. can he get big tax cuts and deregulation through? such as the repeal of dodd-frank? yes, he can. proposed rejecting the transpacific partnership and a massive public works program, something about half $1 trillion
2:08 pm
in for structure spending. coming is of things unlikely to be able to get through, no matter who is running congress, especially if it's republicans. the parts of the speech he outlines today seem to be the ones that republicans in congress would be most receptive to. he needs a lot of cooperation from them. it's unclear what congress is going to look like if he does get elected president. kapur, thank you for that overview of donald trump's economic plan. with some perspective on how the clinton campaign views today's speech, i want to bring in dr. laura tyson, chairman of economic advisers under bill clinton and is now supporter of hillary clinton's campaign. you for joining us. your immediate reaction to the changes in the speak -- in the speech from what we were expected to hear. dr. tyson: there are no significant changes. the change in the top tax rate, but the overall approach of ,elying on significant tax cuts
2:09 pm
the disproportionally benefit the wealthiest, that's a very traditional republican position. by republicanted candidate after republican candidate. there's also a supply-side part of his speech, because he talks about the importance of growth, he says his plan will double the rate of growth, there's no evidence that that is the case, except to say there will be trickle-down effect from this massive tax cut. there weren't any surprises him what he's been saying about trade. i think hillary has made it clear that in terms of trade, she is looking at trade agreements in terms of do they create jobs and raise wages, and that's why she was unable to support the final version of the tpp. by the way, donald trump talked today about prosecution of trade violations. hillary clinton has proposed several months ago that she will
2:10 pm
appoint a chief trade prosecutor, who will go after aggressively violations of trade agreements by our trading partners. shery: it seems like donald trump has approached a more republican side of the debate. some are saying that he's even mirroring a little closer to paul ryan. would you agree with this? how will that impact republican leadership? apparently he is agreeing with paul ryan on the top tax rate. that seems to be the main point. but he is proposing, and your interviewer pointed this out, trump is proposing a major infrastructure spending agenda. proposinginton is that as well, and i think there is a very important role to be played for infrastructure investment in the future of the u.s. economy. what differentiates trump from clinton is that candidate clinton as a detailed plan which
2:11 pm
shows how she will pay for stuff. there isn't any explosion of the deficit or trillions of dollars added to the deficit in the short term or the long-term. here's the structure plan and how we will pay for. here's the tax breaks for childcare, here's how we pay for it. here's the tax cuts with a program for college education, here's how we pay for. we don't see any of that in the trump plan. shery: hillary clinton does give her own speech on thursday. there's a lot that would appeal to wall street, and obviously from is looking for donors and friends in her publican party. how will clinton respond with her speech in order to hold onto those donors that trump is now according? -- is now courting? dr. tyson: clinton has reached out and has support throughout the business community and throughout the financial community. thatas made entirely clear she does not support any rollback of dodd-frank, and that
2:12 pm
in some areas, in the shadow banking area, for example, it may be the need for additional -- certainly a look at the situation to see if we really have a stable financial system going forward. clearly, on the issue of wall street reforms, clinton has made it very clear from the beginning that she supports dodd-frank. and that she will continue to look for -- are there areas where more things need to be done to ensure the stability of the system? trump this time around has tried to cast hillary clinton's camp as an ineffective relic of the past, not to mention attacked clinton's record on job creation well to a senator. how will clinton be able to respond to that? dr. tyson: first of all, it strikes me as almost amusing that there would be an attack on clinton by the trump people is at least that this is more of
2:13 pm
the same. i basically started out my comments with the view that the trump plan, as i understand it today, is basically hearkens right back to the major driver as trickle-down supply-side economics, which has been discredited. we know it's been discredited. oldestack to the playbook and basically say this is the heart of my plan is something that i think people should pay attention to. clintons when senator was in office, she worked extremely hard on issues related to manufacturing in the state of new york. she worked to get additional manufacturing jobs in the state of new york. she has many times as secretary thetate also worked with chinese and negotiated very toughly with the chinese on all kinds of issues. she has come out in favor of stronger penalties on currency manipulation. she walked away from tpp because the rules of origin weren't tough enough to support the
2:14 pm
location of jobs in the united states. she will be a very tough trade negotiator. officerwith her chief for the prosecution of trade violations. you for your thank time and perspective. that was hillary clinton supporter and former bill clinton economic advisor laura tyson. coming up in the next 20 minutes of "bloomberg markets," delta systems slowly coming back right now after computer failure halted flights for hours and grounded thousands of passengers. the latest on the second-biggest carrier in the u.s. vonnie: an oil rally is underway after comments from opec's president and plans for informal talks. the commodities close is just ahead. get a check of the markets. in new york, the dow is down against --p 500 down down about as much. this is slipping after record close on friday.

book delta for some time now? is that when they came out with a video apology so shortly afterwards? justin: i don't think it's themy going to hurt long-term. may not be able to get on another flight for a day or two or three. long-term, financially, it is something that delta can easily handle. vonnie: how does something like this happen? you imagine their backup generators, could there be more of a story? of weeople be suspicious don't get more transparency from delta? people are suspicious and exasperated, a similar problem just last month at southwest caused 40's of problems. of problems. they had all hands on deck to get the problem fixed. if you are an airline traveler now, you are saying why don't these airlines have systems that

public accounting, young people is not exactly the first thing that comes to mind. >> it's surprising because so much of the workforce now, you think of people who are in the middle of their careers, especially for corporate jobs. it turns out that things like consulting and accounting, a lot of professional services draw heavily from college graduates. that puts them in that sweet spot of dealing with people who are in their 20's or maybe early 30's. the medianlike ey, age is 29. half the people there are under 29. it's a big change versus what most people in the corporate u.s. are used to. copies change that most look for, or did it respond to a pool of people who can work for them is coming from? >> it's a response to what's happening in employment today. people come in, particularly millennials are much more in tune with the notion of going to go where my career takes me. i will do this for a few years
