WEBVTT - Steve Hawkins in for Thom 10/10/2025 0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:06.400 Finals physical information dispensed by a certified professional. This is 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:10.840 the Bloomberg Money Minute on seven hundred WLWA. 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:14.000 And that certified professional Gino Cervetti joining me from Bloomberg. 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:17.040 Are you doing this morning, Steve? 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.119 I'm doing well so far. It's Friday, absolutely wrong. 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:23.680 I'm good. We did another couple of reports and it'll 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:24.320 be the weekend. 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:25.200 Right. 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:26.800 Let's start with mortgage rates. 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.880 They remain elevated, but there's some encouraging news this morning 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:30.480 on rates. 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:34.720 Yes, they have resumed their downward path here in the US, 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.239 falling for the first time in a few weeks. This 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.240 is according to Freddie Mack, saying the average four thirty 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.640 or fixed loans is six point three percent. That's down 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.120 from six point three to four percent last week. Rates 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:48.920 are quite a bit lower than they were in the 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.760 middle of the year. That does give house hunters some 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.520 more buying power, but they've really been treading cautiously here, 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.880 held back by affordability challenge challenges and concerns over where 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.160 the economy might be headed. Of course, the prices are 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:04.319 still pretty high too. 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:04.920 There you go. 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.480 YouTube could have some competition with a new tool that 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:10.880 I guess Instagram is considering. 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.240 Yeah, Instagram is looking at building a dedicated TV app 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.520 as part of a deeper push into video, and this 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.560 could really challenge YouTube, which already makes it very easy 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.000 to watch videos on your television set. Instagram is owned 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.279 by Meta Platforms. It's evolved a lot in the last 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:33.440 several years from its original photo centric approach. Video, especially 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:37.400 its reels option, has become a big focus for Instagram. 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.880 Steve alrighty, about an hour and a half till the 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:40.520 market's open. 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:41.160 What are you seeing? 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.440 Not too bad here? Futures are up seventy four. SMP 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.840 futures are up ten. Nasdaq futures are up thirty nine 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:54.240 from Bloomberg. Genas Cervetti on news radio seven hundred WLW. 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:58.520 Seven hundred WLWN, Cincinnati, Steve Hawkins in for Tom Burnham, mean, 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.160 I thought we talked to Brad Garrett, news crime and 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:05.400 terrorism analysts in Washington. Hey, Brad, tell me about this 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.639 fire arrest and the latest that you know, this arsonist 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.960 and maybe the motivation out there in California. 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:20.120 So lapd LA Fire and ATF I've been jointly working 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.840 this case. It's been what nine months since the fire 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.720 was studying thereabouts and they arrested a twenty nine year 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.080 old who was in or living in near in or 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.760 around Orlando, Florida at the time of the fire, which 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.520 was going to be the New Year's Eve. He was 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:43.200 living someplace in the proximity of the Pacific Polisades, which 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:48.120 all of us know caught fire shortly after that burned 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:52.560 twenty three thousand acres, killed twelve people. You're talking sixty 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.880 eight hundred structures. That goes on and on, billion and 0:02:55.919 --> 0:03:00.520 a half damage money wise. So anyway you have that. 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:04.799 So why has it taking them this long? I don't know, 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:09.760 But they talk about the following that they use cell 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:14.800 phone tracking, they use witness information, they use apparently the 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.760 analysis of how the fire was set and where it 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.440 was set and the circumstances around because this is always 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.600 important Steve as to what happened prior to an event, 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.959 whether it's a mass shooting, whatever it might be. In 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.600 this case, obviously it's a fire setting. That he had 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.920 been an uber driver southern California and the last two passengers, 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.240 I mean this is this shortly before he set the fire, 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.160 and the last passenger actually lived in the Pacific Palisades. 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.240 They said he was really angry about something, and so 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.360 he drops the last pass passengers right before midnight, and 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.600 then walks up again. According to police, walks up a 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:58.600 trail that he frequented regularly. That's also a common characteristic 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.160 of people who set these types of fires. They say 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.600 he set the fire, he calls nine to one then 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:09.840 almost immediately that's also common to report the fire. He 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.240 eventually gets through, He reports the fire and leaves the scene. 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.120 As he's leaving the scene, apparently the fire trucks come 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.760 racing by him to go put the fire out. He 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.240 turns around and goes back to the scene again common 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.720 behavior here, and volunteers to help put the fire out. 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.360 I think they're able to track that the cell phone, 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.839 and I guess through witnesses. He I think maybe posts 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.320 stuff online. I don't know that, but I'm going to 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.920 guess that might be part of it. And you know, 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:44.760 these guys are still motivated by who knows what, but 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:49.000 they tend to be really super fascinated with fire. And 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.599 apparently he was playing a song at the time that 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:57.120 talks about setting a fire. So you know, is he 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.880 a troubled person? Probably if he have mental health issues, 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:02.800 I don't know, but it could play into this. 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.960 Uh would you call this just good old fashioned police work, 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:11.159 investigative work to find a guy in Orlando, Florida setting 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.640 a fire in California on New Year's Eve. 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.279 Yeah, And you know, it's one of those that you 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.560 probably have to draw a fairly big circle around where 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.480 the fire started and then go from there. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:24.960 You know. 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:29.480 The other interesting component of this is that the Palace 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:34.279 Stapes fire is the result of another fire that the 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.200 one he started. The initially fire, the fire folk. 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.840 Put it out, but they didn't get put out with these. 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:46.800 Slow smoldering embers that were like I think, below the brush. 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:51.320 And what happened is California had these hurricane level winds 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:56.040 a few days after this fire. It then blew the 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.120 embers into the Pacific Palisades. 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.120 Oh good, and set it on fire. 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:00.719 Wow. 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.960 And so it's you know, but it's unbelievable. It is 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:06.880 one of the biggest fires, if not the biggest, the 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.160 LA's ever experienced. 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.760 Brad Garrett, ABC News Crime and Terrorism analysts in Washington, 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.320 thank you so much for your report. 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.760 Much appreciated.

The US 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:20.320 Travel Association estimates the shutdown cost to the American travel 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:24.000 economy is a billion dollars in lost spending per week. 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.760 Flight delays caused by air traffic control staffing shortfalls have 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.720 rippled across the country as controllers are forced to work 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:34.120 without pay.

News Radio seven hundred WLW. Well, 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.120 they indicted the New York attorney this week. We'll talk 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:17.760 to Stephen Portinoy about it next. Seven hundred wl W, 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.760 Cincinnati thought we talked to Steven Portnoy, our ABC News 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:25.160 national correspondent in Washington. Stephen, the New York Attorney General 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.040 has been indicted on at least one count of alleged fraud. 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.280 Can you share with us what that fraud is and 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:33.520 what's going on with this story. 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.720 The allegation against the New York State Attorney General is 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.639 that she bought a house in twenty twenty in the 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:44.280 depths of the pandemic, apparently for her niece. The property 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:46.840 was sold for one hundred and thirty seven thousand dollars 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.720 a three bedroom house in Norfolk, Virginia, to put twenty 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.280 percent down, got a thirty year fixed rate mortgage at 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:52.919 three percent. 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.160 Prosecutors alleged that she listed it. 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.359 On the application as a secondary home, but what they 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.960 say she should have done is listed as an investment property. 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:05.720 They say that if she had done that, she would 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:07.879 have been charged a higher rate, not three percent. But 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.240 prosecutors say, well, it should have been three point eight percent. 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.920 And if you take the difference in the interest payments 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.760 over thirty whole years and you add it all up, 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:23.000 she would have paid about nineteen thousand dollars more if 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.600 she had that higher three point eight percent rate and 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:32.760 had held the home for thirty years. Now, prosecutors say 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.240 this is a bank fraud, making false statements to a 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:40.680 financial institution. Maximum sentence thirty years in prison. Oh mine, Well, 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:44.480 we'll see. Look, James is calling these charges baseless and 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:48.199 a perversion of the justice system. And the question is 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.040 you know whether she actually did commit a crime, and 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.240 there are some doubts about that. You know, what we 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:58.360 know and have reported is that you know officials inside 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:01.199 the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern Virginia looked at 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.959 this and determined that they couldn't bring a case that 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:09.600 they'd win. And that follows the same judgment of the 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:13.280 career prosecutors in the case against James Comy, which is 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:17.680 now in the process of being challenged by Comy's defense lawyers. 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:19.880 They're going to make a number of motions to try 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:20.960 to get the case thrown out. 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:25.080 Ultimately, you know, Letitia James has been given a summons 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.119 to appear. The arraignment is scheduled for later this month, 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.480 but you can imagine that there'll be an allegation that 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.440 this is a selective in vindictive prosecution. And one elements 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:38.840 of the argument may be the report by Pro Publica 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.560 that if you look at the current cabinet of this administration, 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:47.399 it has among its members a labor secretary, a transportation secretary, 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.480 and an EPA administrator. So if you look at their 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:56.680 mortgage applications you might find similar problems. No indication yet 0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:59.600 that those Trump administration officials are about to be indicted. 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:04.240 And just so everybody understands, the New York Attorney General James, 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:07.280 she's the one that was had a hand in trying 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.560 to prosecute Trump last year years ago. 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:12.200 Whatever she brought. 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.199 The civil fraud case had a judge finding that the 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:19.320 Trump organization was engaged in essentially a criminal enterprise of 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:24.280 overvaluing its assets, and the judge issued a half billion 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:28.120 dollar penalty that has since been zeroed out on appeal. 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:32.600 Now that verdict, though, is still in place. The President 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:34.280 is taking it all the way to New York State's 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:37.600
