WEBVTT - Steve Hawkins in for Thom 12/24/2025 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:05.640 Honey finalstistical information now dispensed by a certified professional. This 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:10.720 is the Bloomberg Money Minutes on seven hundred wlw's. 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.479 Okay, Dan Schwartzman with us from the Bloomberg newsroom. Good 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:16.080 morning Dan, Good morning Steve, Hi Christmas Eve. We're talking 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:20.439 about money. As always, American investment in global soccer continues 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:20.920 to grow. 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.599 Well, we pretty much own the Premier League at this point, 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.600 so why not continue, Steve, Americans investing heavily and overseas 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.920 soccer leagues. Investment Group General Atlantic buying a forty nine 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.400 percent stake in Olamani Group, the owner of Lega MX's 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:36.839 Club America, which is in Mexico of course, as well 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.200 as as Teca Stadium. 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.080 That a new joint entity called. 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.200 GROUPA A GIAS is viued at four hundred and ninety 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.120 million dollars. Now, investment in Mexican soccer will be growing, 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.240 with multiple teams expected to be sold to US investors 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.519 in the upcoming months. So it's a cheaper league and 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:55.520 that's why right now it is garnering a lot of attention. Yeah, 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.880 these way Moo self driving. 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.920 Taxis are going to get updated after this failure in 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:02.400 San Francisco tell us about it. 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.520 Yeah, they're going to strengthen its automated software to better 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.680 handle power outages after itsself driving taxis froze and cause 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.920 traffic jams because it literally happened in intersections during a 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.440 major electricity failure in San fran last weekend. The company 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.040 said it's Waymow drivers system is programmed to handle dark 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.120 traffic signals in the same way as a four way stop, 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.399 but a car is going to occasionally quote request a 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:28.120 confirmation check to ensure it makes the safest choice. Now, 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.119 I'm glad it just stops. That's better than continuing to go. 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.080 Yeah, in the middle of the street. Who's gonna get 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.080 the traffic ticket for that? There's nobody in the car. 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:36.680 Get out. 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:41.160 Absolutely. What are you seeing there in the futures? Not much. 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.399 The Dow is down twenty nine points or tent to 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.800 one percent, and as that slightly down, SMB slightly. 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.960 Down, but let's just call them essentially flat. 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:53.240 From Bloomberg. Dan Schwartzman on news radio seven hundred WLW. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.720 All right, seven hundred WLWN, Sanny Steve Hawkins and for 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.960 Tom brenhaman this morning, I thought we talked to Becky 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.560 Staples with this this morning. Becky, good morning, thanks for 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:08.679 joining us. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.360 Good morning, Thank you for inviting me. 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:12.440 If I. 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.440 Not wrong, a little birdie told me you did something 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.560 that was incredible in the past month. You got to 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.600 go to DC and decorate the White House for Christmas. 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:25.320 I did. 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:26.000 I did. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:30.320 I was chosen from over twelve thousand applications across the 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:31.760 US and their territories. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.720 So how does it work? How did you get there? 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.120 Do you apply online or something? 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:37.840 I did? 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.399 There is an application process and so I saw it 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:47.519 in September and I just applied. It's something that was 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.880 kind of a little joke in my family. My boys 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.520 were always like, Mom, you should totally apply, and I'm 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.880 was like, I'll never get chosen. And so I saw 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.520 it and I thought, you know what, I am just 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.600 going to fill that out this year and see what happens. 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.120 And I did, and I totally forgot about it. And 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.160 about a month later there was the email in my emails. 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.320 So the process of getting for Cincinnati to DC, what 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.040 did it entail? And especially when you got there, you know, 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.160 besides having agnoged with Trump, what happened? 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.000 So well? 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.359 Once you are selected, you have to submit some additional 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:31.320 information to go through some background and security clearance checks 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.040 and so then once you get that final email that 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.800 you've been cleared, you go to d C. They have 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.800 a block of rooms that you can stay in. It's 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.560 totally all you have to pay for it yourself, okay. 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:48.520 And so I chose to go the three days after Thanksgiving. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.200 You can go for the whole week, so like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.520 nothing happens on Thanksgiving, and then Friday, Saturday, Sunday. But 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.120 I just thought that was a lot for the first time, 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:00.920 and I'm like, you know, I think I'll just go 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:05.480 for the last three days. And so once you get there, 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.680 you have to go down every morning at six thirty 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.480 in the morning to get on a bus and you 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.840 get checked by Secret Service. They ride the bus with you. 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.120 You know. You go through screening services every single day 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.960 to get into the White House just to decorate. So 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.960 it's a lot, that's a lot of there's a long 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:25.839 process and it's very long days. 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.640 Do you go to the basement and bring up the 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.760 decorations and the trees and stuff? 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.359 What do you do or how do you decorate? Yeah? 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:39.279 No, on Monday, the volunteers are taken to Everything is 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.960 stored in a warehouse off site. And since you know, 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.400 since the Kennedy administration, I hear, and so they are 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.200 in charge there. There's a plan. The first Lady's office 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.960 works all year on the plan and what the decor 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.200 is going to look like. And so they have a 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.159 list of all the things and they know what's in 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.560 the warehouse. So a lot of the things that you 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.840 see on the trees, a lot of orn and things 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.600 are from years past and we just repurposed them like 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.720 you would in your own home. And yeah, so they 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.799 pull the things off the shelves, Everything has to get screened, 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.640 it gets shipped to the White House on Tuesday, it's 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.320 placed in the rooms where it's supposed to go on 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.920 the trees or the mantles, and then they spend Tuesday 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:26.320 and Wednesday putting lights on all of those trees because 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.920 the trees, every tree is a real live tree, and 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.400 so every tree has to have lights put on it. 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.520 And there were like I think fifty four or fifty 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.960 seven trees this year. There's a lot, and they're big trees. 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:44.000 So were you actually putting the lights on and putting 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:48.120 stuff on the mantles and putting the ornaments on the trees. 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.640 On Friday. When I got there, the trees were not 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:56.360 fully lit yet, so we had to work in pairs 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.920 to put the lights on the trees. I volunteered to 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.719 hold branches so someone else could climb in because the 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.880 lights have to be put on a specific way. So 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.480 I did that for many hours on Friday, and then 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.200 I also tied some ribbons on some ornaments that we're 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.520 going to go on the bi centennial trees in the 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:20.599 East room. And then on Saturday and Sunday, I worked 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.560 in the Green room, which was the family fun theme, 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:30.880 and there are dominoes and the lego portrait of President 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.000 Trump and George Washington are in that room, and so 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.840 I worked on the mantle and constructing those domino towers 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:44.000 that were conceived by Missus Trump's creative director, who also 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:48.400 did her inaugural ball gown. So shout out to air Vay, 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:54.280 but yeah, and so we did the mantle, the ribbons 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.560 and all of that, and then displacing the different decor 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.279 in the room. Air Vay was the one who really 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:07.520 conceived that room, and also the butterfly room that I'm 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.279 sure a lot of people have seen. It's the Red 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.840 Room and it has all these beautiful blue butterflies. There's 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.200 like ten thousand butterflies in that room, and it's really 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.400 striking in person. I don't even think that the photos 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:23.960 online really do it justice. It's beautiful in person. Yeah. Yeah, 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:25.800 So did you do a lot of hand work? 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:27.640 Did you see anybody famous? 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.600 Did you see the ghost of Abraham Lincoln anything like that? 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:33.760 No? No, I did not. 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:36.160 Know. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.480 My final question is do you have to go back 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.040 and pack all the stuff up? Now? 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:46.720 You know there are actually volunteers who do that, and 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.360 it is all going to be packed up. And it 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.240 breaks my heart to say this, but it's all going 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.800 to be packed up. I think like December twenty first 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:54.920 or twenty second. 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:56.920 And wow. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:57.400 Yeah. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.920 The reason for that is I think they're going to 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.760 give some of the White House staff the time off 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.440 because the First Family won't be there for the holidays, 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.240 and so that's nice for the staff to be able 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.720 to have that time off and spend with their families too, 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.480 So you know, in the end, it works out for everyone. 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.960 Hey, Becky Staples decorating the White House here this year. 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.320 That's just an incredible story.
