WEBVTT - Mornings with Steve Hawkins in for Thom 1/9/2025 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.840 Nay money MENFO to help you invest like a bro. 0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:07.720 Feel free to take notes. This is the Bloomberg Money 0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:10.039 Minute on seven hundred WLW. 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:13.039 Denise Fell agree with us this morning on a Friday. 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:17.800 It's getting close to the weekendo, and we got to 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.480 start this report. Let's start with the Johnson and Johnson. 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:23.239 They are cutting drug prices. 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:24.880 Yeah, they are. This is good news. 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.680 Johnson and Johnson has reached this deal with the government 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.400 to lower drug prices. This will be for some Americans 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.800 in exchange for tariff exemption, which is what the Trump 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.839 administration was after. And all part of this, Jay and 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.479 j will offer drugs to the Medicaid program at prices 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.800 comparable to what other developed countries offer. They'll also participate 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.440 in Trump r X, and they also plan to build 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.440 two manufacturing facilities in the US, which is also part 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:54.200 of what the Trump administration was after, including a cell 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:58.200 therapy site in Pennsylvania and a drug product manufacturing facility 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.400 in North Carolina. Multiple other companies have already struck similar agreements, 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.760 so this is a big deal and we could see 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:06.920 more of these going forward. 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.440 I can barely wear a watch, but all these wearable 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.959 devices that people are using is it impacting our mental health? 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:15.000 Well, what do you mean? 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:16.280 You can barely wear a watch? 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.679 It's right there there it is. It's not digital. It's 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.440 one of the Yeah I got the old fashioned watch on. 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.320 I don't have that smart watch or whatever. 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.480 Oh well, you know, I mean, gen Z probably loves 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.280 you because those things are like crazy popular right now. 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:42.080 People got wearable devices and iPhones and absolutely aura rings, 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:47.960 the garment, the fitbit, the Hoopla and apparently all these wearables, 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:49.960 as you were kind of hinting at, well. 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.360 They can be good for information, you know, how you sleep, 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:57.240 what your recovery rate is, on your muscles, even if 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.480 you're not an athlete, you maybe wish you were. 0:01:59.520 --> 0:01:59.960 I want to be. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.800 But apparently it's also having a negative effect because data 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:08.959 overload and hyper fixation on health metrics can kind of 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.240 get us down, especially if it's you know, like, oh 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:13.239 my god, I didn't get. 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.359 Enough sleep last night. I only got four hours. 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.600 This is terrible, my life is going so so all 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:24.000 that increased stress and anxiety is negative and counterproductive. So 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.000 experts are also recommending take a step back from the device, 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.720 maybe just take them off for a while. 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.120 Yeah, they become overwhelming all right. In stock futures, what 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:33.919 are you seeing right now? 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.520 They're higher, not by a lot, but DAL futures up 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.080 forty two s and P futures up nine, Nasdaq futures 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.960 getting fifty four. That's ahead of a job's report coming 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.320 out at the bottom of the hour, expected to show 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.440 kind of weak but not horrible job creation and also 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.400 a slight slid, slight drop in the unemployment rate. So 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.800 investors are watching that very closely because we have the 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.520 Fed's next big policy making meeting at the end of 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.280 the month. From Bloomberg, I'm Denise Pellegrinian News Radio seven hundred. 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.320 Interestry Cuts, thank you so much. 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.800 Coming up in eight twelve. It is Friday. That means 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.000 we talked to Matt Roush talking TV. Hey, good morning man, 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:11.560 how are you. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.040 I'm doing good? How you doing, Steve good? 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.560 I believe starting out on TV tonight is your alma 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.000 mater playing in the. 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:23.040 Baseball Yeah, indeed, yeah, I've already got my lucky Red 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.959 Indiana soson right now because thinking about you know, they're 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.240 playing the game tonight, so yeah, and undefeated, undefeated football team. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:30.200 Who knew that would happen? 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:31.040 Absolutely? 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.919 It has it hasn't happened in many decades at all, 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:34.360 and I. 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.000 Think I don't think so. Yeah, exactly. 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.080 Congratulations on tonight and hope you guys do well. Let's 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.640 start out with The Pit. Everybody's talking about. This is 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.040 return for a second season. 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:51.120 Yeah, just a first episode dropped last night on HBO 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.240 Max and it's going to continue for another or two 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.000 months or something like that. But yeah, it was the 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.200 most acclaimed show of last year. It just won the Critics' 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.560 Choice Award for Best Drama, was already an Emmy winner 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.200 for Best Drama, Noah Wiley winning his first Emmy playing 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.680 the head of The Er when he began his career 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.000 as just a kid who is just starting out in 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.720 the Er and the NBC series all those thirty years 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:13.440 ago or so. 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.280 So it's kind of come full circle. 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.320 But the fact of the idea of The Pit is 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:21.040 that the entire season takes place in one shift. Each 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.760 hour is one hour of their work day, kind of 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.680 the way twenty four used to work back in the day, 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.160 where every hour is one hour sort of plays out 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.520 in real time. So these cases that get introduced during 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.479 a very busy day, you keep following them hour by hour, 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.520 as Noah Wiley makes the rounds of this very very 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:41.080 busy Pittsburgh er. So it is just really gripping show, 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.120 very emotional, amazing cast. All these young people who are 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.799 the interns and the residents are going to become stars 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.400 of their own the way that they did back in the. 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.799 Days of Er. So it's just a great series. 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.440 And this series takes place this season takes place on 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.080 a very busy July fourth, so you can imagine the 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.560 kind of complications that happen there. And then at one 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.120 point during the season they have to kind of rely 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.320 on their wits and their guts because all of the 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.479 computers are shut down, So that makes things really interesting. 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.480 But what I appreciate about this season of The Pit 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.239 is the first season built to this huge, like mass 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.600 shooting crisis. They're not trying to top themselves in season two. 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:19.880 All the way I put it is just getting through 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.840 the day in this kind of environment is enough of 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.640 an accomplishment. So you're just really just just brought into 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.360 this sort of ticking clocked aspect of medicine in this 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:33.039 very busy, busy er and it's just a great drama. So, yeah, 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.560 that one's making a lot of noise, and so that 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.040 is good news for TV viewers. 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.159 I may have missed this is the pit. Noah, why 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.960 is he the same character that he was in the 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:43.880 old er show. 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.760 No, he's not playing his character here is called doctor Robbie. 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.800 He was John Carter in that series, which he said 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.359 in Chicago. So new city, new er, new characters, but 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.279 same kind of vibe going on here because it's extremely intense. 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.000 All right, Golden Globes coming up on Sunday. 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.640 Yeah, CBS has that franchise now. It ran on NBC 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.240 for years, but now it's back. And Golden Globe's always 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.520 seen as like the big party. They're all sitting around 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.480 and they've had a lot of drinks and food, and 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.800 they're sitting in the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton and 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.400 has sort of a different vibe from the Oscars. But 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:20.760 here they honor both television and movies. And Nicky Glazer, 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:25.120 who's a sort of seasoned roaster. She'll be roasting the 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.880 crowd while she hosts the show. I think it's her 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.520 second year doing this. But in the movie Battle, we're 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.400 going to have one battle after another, which has won 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.040 most of the awards and as seen as an Oscar 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.400 front runner, but for some reason, they have pegged this 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:42.120 movie as a comedy. They separate the comedies from the dramas, 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.599 so there's going to be two major films that could 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.800 win awards at the Golden Globes and one battle after 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:49.120 another as favorite for comedy. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.680 But in drama you'll have either Sinners. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.480 Which was a huge hit from last year, or this 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.880 sleeper that's just come along about Shakespeare called Haminet, and 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:58.040 those are going to probably win. 0:06:57.920 --> 0:06:58.760 For Best Drama. 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.560 In TV, I would look for Pitt as we just mentioned. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.280 The Pit will probably win for drama. The studio has 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.640 been winning everything, the Apple TV Comedy for comedy, and 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:11.880 the Adolescence the Netflix mini series will win for Nominated Series, 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.200 we expect. So again, we're in the awards circuit right now, 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.679 and the Grammys are coming in just a few weeks, 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.000 But right now we're in awards, and I guess awards 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:23.600 heaven if that's what you like to watch on TV. 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.360 All right, And a comeback. I really didn't see this 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.440 one coming. Fear Factor's been revived. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.520 Yes, the show that scarred a lot of people back 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.360 in the nineties or whatever it was, that's back on 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.840 but now it's on the Fox Network and they're calling 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.880 this season Fear Factor House of Fear, because the twist 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.960 on this particular reinvention of Fear Factor is that they're 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.880 not just facing their fear and having to eat disgusting 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.640 things or going to really scary situations, but they're also 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.800 living in a house together. So there's going to be 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.559 strategies and alliances, and they're going to I guess, vote 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.960 on who goes into the elimination around each week and 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.680 in the first episode hosted by Johnny Knoxville. Now, by 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.680 the way, so you know that guy knows his way 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.000 around crazy stunts, that's for sure. But in the first 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.680 episode they seal them up in airtight containers. 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:09.760 So the ideas, you. 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.600 Know, they are going to be plaustrophobic and all that 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.360 kind of stuff. Not exactly my idea of a great 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.320 reality show, but it was popular back in the day, 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.440 and I don't expect it will not it will be 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.720 any different this time. They're going to premiere it on 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.600 Sunday after one of the NFL Wild Card games, and 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.280 they're going to move it to Wednesday, where he's going 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.680 to pair it with a new season The Masked singer. 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.920 So reality TV, it's everywhere you look, all right and 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.600 real quick. We got some streaming going on this week too. Yeah. 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.640 If you were a fan of the Emmy winning espionage 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.600 drama The Night Manager, which aired ten years ago, they're 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.520 bringing it back on Sunday on Amazon Prime Video. Tom 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.960 Hillston reprising his role of the undercover spy. So that 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.480 is for fans of that. If you're more into the 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.480 action thing. There's a new season of Hijack starting on 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.280 Apple TV on Wednesday. That's Idris Elba in the first episode. 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.600 In the first season, he was dealing with a hostage 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.839 crisis on a plane. Now he's on a train underground 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.040 in Berlin and there's another hostage crisis. 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:06.520 Maybe this guy illa just stay home. 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:12.480 Maybe a Matt Rouss Talking TV this week is always uh, 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:13.560 where do we connect with you? 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.920 Tvnsuder dot Com and TV guide Magazine. 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:17.760 Thanks so much, Steve. 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.960 All right, well talk next week.

I am shock. How's 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.200 Russia are winding down? 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:31.400 Here? 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.720 I've still got a couple of problems, but overall things 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.480 are beginning to settle down a little bit. This from 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.600 the UC Health Traffic Center, UC Health Weight Loss Center 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.600 off for Surgical and Medical bcdcaren expertise called five one 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.640 three nine three nine two two sixty three. That's nine three, 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.280 nine two two sixty three. One of the problems is 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.400 found seventy five near the Richwood exit. Let length blocked 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.400 off with an accident that's enough to back traffic to 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.240 the seventy one split near Walton. There's also a wreck 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.120 eastbound on the lateral near Montgomery Road that traffic is 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:09.080 backing up towards. Ready southbound seventy five continues slowed through 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.120 Lachland and they're cleaning up a wreck at the lateral 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:16.280 that's on the shoulder.

Some wet roads and 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.600 some rain. Scattered rain out there right now in seven 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:54.160 hundred WLW. Looks like some Senate Republicans didn't vote the 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.640 way that they were supposed to. We're going to talk 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.720 to Stephen Portnoye about what happened yesterday. 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:04.520 Coming up next seven hundred WLW in Cincinnati. 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.320 It's time to talk to Stephen portnoys or ABC News 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.640 national correspondent in Washington. Stephen, what's the latest here in 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.360 the House incentive yesterday? 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:14.280 Yeah, a couple of things caught our eye. 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.800 Yesterday. You had Republicans in the House and the Senate 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:22.160 bucking their leadership, joining with republic Democrats to advance or 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:27.280 pass bills in opposition to the leadership and ultimately to 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.760 the White House. Let's start in the Senate, where five 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.960 Republican senators voted with Democrats to advance a War Powers 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.880 Act resolution that would aim to tie the President's hands 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.320 with respect to future military action in Venezuela. Now, overnight, 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.880 the President put on his social media that he is 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:48.240 canceled a second planned wave of attacks on Venezuela because 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.600 he says he's now working cooperatively with the existing regime 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.760 there with the interim president following Maduro's arrest last weekend. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.960 But this measure, which had the support of five Republicans 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.600 Susan Collins of Maine, Josh Holly of Missouri, Lisa Murkowski 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.440 of Alaska, Ran Paul of Kentucky, Todd Young of Indiana, 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.280 would aim to prevent the president from using the military 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.040 and Venezuela going forward without congressional approval. A number of 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.120 these Republicans say that they believe that the Constitution requires 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.200 the Congress have a voice in that, and that's why 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.320 they voted to advance that. Final passages expected next week. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.640 But what you need to know is that the White 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.120 House position a veto threat. In order for this thing 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:27.760 to actually have impact, it would have to not only 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.520 pass both houses, but it would have to be enacted 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.719 into law, either with the President's signature or with the 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.760 two thirds veto proof margin in both houses to override 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.360 a veto, and that's not going to happen. So certainly 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.720 a symbolic thing, the President responded yesterday saying these five 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.320 Republicans should be ashamed of themselves and quote should never 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:45.560 be elected to office. 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:47.840 Again. That's in the Senate. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:52.280 In the House, seventeen Republicans, including a handful from Ohio, 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.600 voted with Democrats to advance and pass a three year 0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.600 extension of the expired ACA tax credits. Not likely to 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.160 become law either, because the Republican leader in the Senate says, 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.520 essentially it's a non starter, he would require substantial changes, 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.840 and Senate Republicans voted to block a similar measure about 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.840 a month ago. So the fact that it has happened, 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.520 it's not the first time. By the way, remember the 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:20.280 Epstein files was another example. But you have certain instances 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.720 now where Republican rank and file members are bucking the leadership, 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:25.360 bucking the president. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.800 And they're pushing it back against the party. Is that 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:29.120 surprising to you. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.439 I think it reflects the fact that we're a divided country. 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:39.880 The Congress as a Republican majority that's historically very small, 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.640 and at certain points, some of these Republicans, particularly those 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:49.240 who come from districts where the voters are there swing districts, 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.400 they may be vulnerable heading into this next midterm election cycle, 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.880 or they just simply strongly feel the way they do. 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:57.680 For example, I think that's the case of Senator Paul 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.600 when it comes to this question of war powers. And 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.960 so you're going to see examples like this. They're historically important, 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.599 they're symbolic, probably not all that significant in terms of 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.760 affecting outcomes, but notable nevertheless. 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.560 And you expect it to continue as the months and 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:15.240 year go by. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.600 Well, it will reflect the issue at the time, It'll 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:24.080 reflect the popularity of that particular question, where the president 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:28.800 stands on it, how aggressively he pursues a party discipline 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.000 within the Republican ranks. Earlier this week, he went to 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.800 a Republican meeting at the what he now calls the 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.040 Trump Kennedy Center, and he tried to urge Republicans to 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.040 fall in line and stand behind him going into this 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.080 midterm cycle. But what happened a couple of days later, 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.920 seventeen of them in the House said, now, sir, we're 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.840 going to vote to extend these ACA subsidies. 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.520 Interesting, isn't it? 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.840 It certainly is interesting, But it also is a function 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.240 of where we are right now as a country. And 0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:01.880 it also speaks to the constitutional imperative that the people's 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:06.160 elected leaders have the opportunity to weigh in. That's really 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:07.840 more than anything with this reflects. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.800 Steven Portnoy, ABC News National Correspunding in Washington. Thanks for 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.720 your time this morning. Appreciate it. Kee all right, it's 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:14.640 coming up an eight. 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.760 To thirty on seven hundred WL double in the next 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.360 thirty minutes. It's Friday. That means we talked to Beer Dave. 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.800 He's coming up on seven hundred WL. 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:26.200 Fresh money news is being served. This is the Bloomberg 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.920 Money Minute on seven hundred WOW. Good morning. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.680 Investors today are keeping a very close sie on the 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.880 job market and also on events in Venezuela, with President 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.200 Trump calling off a second wave of attacks on that country, 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.760 citing cooperation, especially when it comes to crude oil. If 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:46.720 you're looking for a bargain on a car, you might 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.840 take a look at some Jeeps Stillenti's Jeep brand cutting prices. 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.880 It's an effort to mount to turn around bid in 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:56.280 the US market. Jeep is also simplifying its lineup. It's 0:15:56.320 --> 0:16:00.840 offering fewer model iterations and reducing up charges. The Wrangler 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.560 Sports now starts at about forty two, five hundred bucks. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.480 That's down more than thirteen hundred dollars from the prior 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.560 model year. The brand CEO says changes are intended to 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.280 give back to the customer of the things that make 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.480 Jeep Jeep and drive both volumes and profits. And the 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:20.560 new Volcano cas Rito with Lava sauce alternative has arrived 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.760 at Taco Bella's. The chain tries to capitalize on all 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.320 the hype of Casa Rito's return with the launch of 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:30.520 a new menu lineup inspired by another discontinued item. The 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.680 Volcano cas Rito comes with a new Volcano sauce. It's 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.360 a spicy addition inspired by the lava sauce. It has 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:41.240 almost a cult like following Volcano Sauces cheese based with 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.640 spices from Bloomberg. I'm Denise Pelgrine on news radio seven 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:51.280 hundred WLW. 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.040 Seven hundred WIWD, Cincinnati. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.160 I thought we talked to Brad Garrett or ABC News 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.920 crime and terrorism analysts from Washington. Brad tell me about 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:01.680 this new study about gun violence. What did they find out? 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.879 So this out it called the Trace, which is a nonprofit. 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.920 They really do some thorough analysis of both gun violence 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.240 in other words, you're shooting may but neither one of 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:17.879 us die. As a stat obviously, homicides are obvious what 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.760 they are. So they analyze one hundred and fifty US 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:26.280 cities and they found that there's one of the greatest 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:30.760 drops in gun violence in these one hundred and fifty cities. 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:34.520 And you would say to yourself and then, well, why 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.399 did that happen? And I think there's a number of 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:43.480 variables Steve to play into it. For example, if you 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.040 have to look at this, you always have to look 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.240 at crime and what it is in perspective of when 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.600 it is in history. So I can take you back 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.560 a number of years when it was much higher than 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.400 it is now. At the point being, it really spiked 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:01.600 between twenty twenty and twenty twenty two. Two reasons the pandemic. 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:07.360 People aren't working, kids aren't in school, after treatment programs 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:10.919 or social programs of you know, filling the blank, of 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.920 basketball camps, of things that keep kids busy from four 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:18.399 to eight o'clock. Basically we're gone. And then you had 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:23.320 to protests of Black Lives Matter, George Floyd, et cetera. 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.639 So all of that, you know, had a pretty significant 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:32.960 impact on gun violence going up, which just makes common sense, right, 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.439 people have all that idle time, people get into it, 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.040 kids start hanging out with people they shouldn't because they're 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:42.040 not after school programs, whatever it might be. So we 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:46.600 come out of that in twenty twenty three, and you know, 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.680 the numbers by and large across the board in twenty 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.560 twenty four, in the first I don't know, ten months 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.800 or so of twenty twenty five show this, you know, 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:03.600 an appreciable downturn in gun violence. Yeah, and you know 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:08.280 so many variables affect gun violence steed, but you know, 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:12.000 it's really good to see, and we just hope it continues. 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.240 Well, the interesting thing is a lot of cities are 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:18.720 understaffed and their police officers, they say, and gun violence 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:22.240 going down. That's a pretty good correlation. I would say, 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:27.000 there's any indication would they even know if this is temporary? 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:34.080 Well, you know my guess that. You know, there's always 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:37.080 a rich you can get thrown into these situations that 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:42.240 change people's attitudes for the police toward whatever. But I 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.439 think if we can do two things, these after school 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:50.440 programs or social programs for inner city kids. The current 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:55.040 administration cut their budget substantially. They've got to figure out 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.399 a way to put that money back in so that 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.720 these programs because they look under grants typically the federal government. Yeah, 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:04.080 that needs to happen. The other is to your point 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:08.400 about understaffing. I mean, DC is down eight hundred officers. 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.560 They're supposed to have four thousand and they have thirty 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:14.400 two hundred, and I don't know about Cincinnati. My guess 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.960 is you need be understaff too. But you know that 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.639 creates a strain on the officers and it puts a 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:23.640 strain on their ability to really drill down on particular 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:26.480 neighborhoods as to what is the crime pop probably in 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.560 these X number of blocks and go to work on 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:34.520 it so things can change for the better or for 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.920 the worse. I hope that we continue to go downward. 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.359 All right, One quick question in your career, have you 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:41.760 seen a drop like this? 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:42.400 Ever? 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:47.439 We've had drops before, I think because it went up 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:51.199 so much and then it's quickly, I mean relatively quickly, 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.879
