lady lady last night, trying to show a bigger picture of the republican party. tot is something that tries reassure certain republicans who don't want to be associated with a party seen as racist are going too far. ronald reagan in 1980 went to speak to the naacp before the election and many people thought it was a mistake because he would not grow the african-american vote but it rained moderate white voters in the suburb by providing more comfort. the party could do better on that front and i think they're trying to do a bit of that now. in 2018, the voters abandoned the party in the suburbs. and there has to be some level of bringing that back. clearly the trump campaign feels like there is their base that did not vote in 2016. inald trump got fewer votes winning that mitt romney got in losing. so i think the trump campaign feels there are more voters to be had in the base did not vote. these conventions matter anymore? it's all virtual now, we had one pole indicating no bump for joe biden last week. do they matter? mike: if done well they should. it's eight hour of television commercials to a national audience. it should matter if they are done well, even if it's just reinforcing your own base. but they do matter less. politics has become so polarized , there some more people who have their minds made up you will see much less tuition in the polls, what you've said earlier about the trump campaign support being solid and stubborn. we have fewer swing voters and we had maybe 20 or 30 years ago. david: what about money and add a spending? apiece was out today saying that joe biden is spending a fair amount during the republican convention during advise and the trump campaign is pulled back this week and next week almost entirely. mike: probably a smart move since they are getting so much free media this week. smart to conserve those resources. i don't think ultimately money is the determining factor. there is so much free media and coverage and you don't need more to win. i think money matters more in lower-level races. in this case, everybody knows donald trump. >> donald trump has become such a dominant figure, what happens after him? this going to potentially jeopardize the republican party because it is so much a personality cult? mike: i think there's going to be a battle for the soul of the party in 2024. this can be a fight and you'll see people trying to mimic donald trump and pretend they are the next donald trump and i think that's going to be difficult unless you are a businessman on a number one television network show. i think they'll be hard to replicate. and there will be people from a more mainstream or progressive part of the party that are upset with the divisiveness we have seen. i think you will see over the next two to four years, certainly in the next presidential primary, you will see lots of factions battling it out. david: thank you so much. forl ahead, tune in tonight 10:00 eastern time as we resume

we are seeing democrats on this week's republican convention. none more memorable than vernon jones. joe biden has had 47 years to produce results but he has been all talk and no action, just like so many of the democrats who have been making promises to the black voters for decades. we have been their captive audience. when president trump sought to earn the black vote, the democratic party leaders went crazy. david: we welcome representative jones to bloomberg. thank you for being with us. let me ask you, what led you to this decision and specifically, specific to donald trump or was it broader than that? the indictment goes beyond joe biden and seems to go through the -- to the democrat party. vernon: first of all, common sense. secondly, the democratic party's track record and thirdly, what donald trump has done for african americans and what democrats have done in the past 50 years. as i said earlier, we have been a captive audience. they did not need to earn our vote and our support. when get elected, they threw blacks off the bus. that day has come to an end. myself and others will be vocal about the bigotry and socialism that the democratic party embraces now. david: that suggests that you're going to switch parties. are you thinking of doing that? vernon: i did not leave the party, the party left me. i was born with traditional values, hard work, believing in god. not relying on the government, realizing that too much government intervention can ruin your life, actually. for what i want and what i believe in is important to me. i support president trump because i can tell you specifically with historical black colleges being funded at the level that president trump has and me being a graduate of north carolina central university, that made a difference to many african americans. there are about 48 historical black colleges throughout the country. ofy have been the incubator arts and science and math and religion and politics. and so i support black colleges and president trump supports black colleges. in terms of prison reform, it is no secret. joe biden wrote the crime bill that incarcerated masses of black people, destroy their families, destroyed entire generations. but it was donald trump who came in in 3.5 years and got congress with his backing to support and pass the first step act which is allowing african americans and round americans who are traditionally locked up and the key thrown away to reunite the families -- reunite their families and get some of the jobs that president trump has created. speaking of that, prior to the pandemic, african-american on employment was at a record low. this economy was humming. anduld give president obama a mixed congress which included republican house, they stopped the bleeding of the economy when it was going down. however, when president trump came in, he put this economy on steroids with the tax cut. you started seeing jobs being created, investments coming from offshore's, people started to start new businesses, any of them are black businesses. they started to grow the economy, they started to grow our way out of a deficit and not try to deal with the deficit. this president has been strong, he has been a -- as solid as a mountain in terms of his leadership and we support that. david: let me ask a question that a viewer just wrote in to me. i will ask you a little bit differently. -- has the african-american humidity reacted to your decision to back president trump? vernon: many of them have been brainwashed over decades, they cannot quite see the light yet. because -- just like joe biden said, if you don't vote for him, you ain't black. fortunately, myself and many others have realized that this is a hoax, that we have been on a plantation. they made promises to us but they do not follow through on their promises. i can tell you that many more african-americans support me, they like what i have to say, they agree with what i have to say, but they don't want to be browbeat by the liberal media. they don't want provocateurs that are being used to attack him to call him uncle toms. this is a high-tech case of lynching of the black vote through voter suppression through intimidation. and when you look at many white -- want to vote for donald trump and they are going to vote for donald trump. the liberal media wants them to feel like what? that they are racist if they do so. do not leave out the media how they are an extension of the democratic party. it is interesting how none of those liberal networks, cnn and many others have had me on, they want to put african americans on that are well behaved, that carry on their narrative. when i did have opportunity to be on msnbc, it was a strange thing to show you the bigotry throughout the network, i was telling them my position on why i support donald trump just like i am standing here now, but then a reporter says to me, how much is the trump organization paying you. that is an insult. i can have an independent thought. i have been in this business for 30 years. i don't know who i can vote for and who i want to vote for? that shows you the bigotry and that is why i remain a democrat because i want to continue to pull that white ku klux klan sheet of bigotry off of the democratic party and certainly, the liberal networks. david: the last thing i want to do is get in a debate about liberal media. we could go on and on. i want to ask you about this. vernon: let's say some in the liberal media. david: there are some who are left and center -- let's leave that go for moment. something you addressed was the question of defunding the police and the dangers of defunding the police. joe biden has not said he would do that. but the risks of doing that. there is a risk on the other side on african american males in particular, we saw it in kenosha, wisconsin. after the game last night, the clippers coach had this to say about defunding the police. >> i believe in good cops. we are not trying to defund the police and take all their money away. we are trying to get them to protect us. just like they protect everybody else. how dare the republicans talk about fear? we are the ones that need to be scared. david: this is what i am curious about. it seems to me that people tend to talk about all one side or all the others. there are two sides need to come together, that we both need to protect the people on the streets and at the same time, protect our citizens from abuse. vernon: here is my position, i am in a very unique position. i am black. i run one of the largest police department in the country. i have had to do with issues on both sides where individual officers were involved in shootings and where officers were killed in shootings. there is no win situation. i have experienced the pain of seeing those mothers and fathers dealing with death on both sides. but we have to respect the law. if we don't have law and order, we will have a chaotic community. we will have what is going on in portland. they don't understand how important it is to enforce -- support law enforcement officers. these are not protesters, these are rioters. i believe any police officer asked unbecoming, that officer should be dealt with. but to paint a broad brush as to defunding the police department -- they are being defunded. it was a black female in seattle, washington, police chief, who resigned recently, why? locale what liberal leadership democrats did when they defund the police the party. let me tell you, police need more funding. many people don't know this. throughfficers only go a psychological examination when they are being hired. when you have been on the road 5, 15, 20 years and you have not been evaluated mentally, you don't know how the officer may react in a certain situation. we need more money to fund that. we start talking about nonlethal use of force. you need more money for new technology. in police training and de-escalation, there is very limited training. there needs to be more money for that. david: a really good point. a discussion we need to continue to have in this country. we really appreciate your being here. is very valuable to have your point of view. vernon jones, georgia state presented it. still ahead, part of my interview with former fda administrator linda mcmahon on the state of the economy. ons is "balance of power" bloomberg television and radio. ♪ ♪ until he has done all he can to take care of everyone impacted by this pandemic. >> has ended the unfair trade arrangement

cuts andhead, more tax regulatory rollback will be in store. >> i don't want to use the tactic of attacking the other side. that kind of talk only serves to divide the country further. husband'swe need my leadership now more than ever in order to be back once again to the greatest economy and the strongest country ever known. david: those close to president trump made their case last night for why he should be reelected. tonight we hear from his second-in-command, vice president mike pence. we have been fortunate to have with us bloomberg contributor and professor of political silence -- science, genie. give us your sense of what the highlights last night were for the president. >> i think the highlights are sticking to this measure -- this message. number one, the economy. you just played the clip by larry kudlow that pre-pandemic, we were doing very well. this unexpected thing hit us and everybody spoke about it in the past tense but he is making the case that we are on track to come back better. and enough course -- and then of course, this law message. the republicans are banking on the fact that while people are sympathetic to the issues going on with policing, that they are getting tired of the violence in the cities and they are hoping to use that to turn some of these swing states. and then of course, the first ladyot hear from a speech inan important which she was the first to talk about what the pandemic has done to people and how devastating it has been. david: people are very anxious about the pandemic and what comes next asked kids -- as kids go to school. has the trump campaign effectively moved off of whether he did a good enough job in handling the pandemic? >> i think it is very tough for him to do. people are not happy with how this has gone. i do think it is important for them to address it but i think they are sort of thinking on the fact that they will have tried to talk about what he has done and how we are moving forward and once we get a vaccine, things are going to be back in order. i don't think they will spend a lot of time on that and that may be to their detriment because it is one of the most important issues on people's minds. david: last night we have to first lady humanized donald trump. tonight we have mike pence who will talk about national security and law and order. w
