Speaker 1: Honey finalstistical information now dispensed by a certified professional. This
Speaker 1: is the Bloomberg Money Minutes on seven hundred wlw's.
Speaker 2: Okay, Dan Schwartzman with us from the Bloomberg newsroom. Good
Speaker 2: morning Dan, Good morning Steve, Hi Christmas Eve. We're talking
Speaker 2: about money. As always, American investment in global soccer continues
Speaker 2: to grow.
Speaker 3: Well, we pretty much own the Premier League at this point,
Speaker 3: so why not continue, Steve, Americans investing heavily and overseas
Speaker 3: soccer leagues. Investment Group General Atlantic buying a forty nine
Speaker 3: percent stake in Olamani Group, the owner of Lega MX's
Speaker 3: Club America, which is in Mexico of course, as well
Speaker 3: as as Teca Stadium.
Speaker 4: That a new joint entity called.
Speaker 3: GROUPA A GIAS is viued at four hundred and ninety
Speaker 3: million dollars. Now, investment in Mexican soccer will be growing,
Speaker 3: with multiple teams expected to be sold to US investors
Speaker 3: in the upcoming months. So it's a cheaper league and
Speaker 3: that's why right now it is garnering a lot of attention. Yeah,
Speaker 3: these way Moo self driving.
Speaker 2: Taxis are going to get updated after this failure in
Speaker 2: San Francisco tell us about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to strengthen its automated software to better
Speaker 3: handle power outages after itsself driving taxis froze and cause
Speaker 3: traffic jams because it literally happened in intersections during a
Speaker 3: major electricity failure in San fran last weekend. The company
Speaker 3: said it's Waymow drivers system is programmed to handle dark
Speaker 3: traffic signals in the same way as a four way stop,
Speaker 3: but a car is going to occasionally quote request a
Speaker 3: confirmation check to ensure it makes the safest choice. Now,
Speaker 3: I'm glad it just stops. That's better than continuing to go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the middle of the street. Who's gonna get
Speaker 2: the traffic ticket for that? There's nobody in the car.
Speaker 2: Get out.
Speaker 4: Absolutely. What are you seeing there in the futures? Not much.
Speaker 3: The Dow is down twenty nine points or tent to
Speaker 3: one percent, and as that slightly down, SMB slightly.
Speaker 4: Down, but let's just call them essentially flat.
Speaker 3: From Bloomberg. Dan Schwartzman on news radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: All right, seven hundred WLWN, Sanny Steve Hawkins and for
Speaker 2: Tom brenhaman this morning, I thought we talked to Becky
Speaker 2: Staples with this this morning. Becky, good morning, thanks for
Speaker 2: joining us.
Speaker 5: Good morning, Thank you for inviting me.
Speaker 4: If I.
Speaker 2: Not wrong, a little birdie told me you did something
Speaker 2: that was incredible in the past month. You got to
Speaker 2: go to DC and decorate the White House for Christmas.
Speaker 5: I did.
Speaker 4: I did.
Speaker 5: I was chosen from over twelve thousand applications across the
Speaker 5: US and their territories.
Speaker 2: So how does it work? How did you get there?
Speaker 2: Do you apply online or something?
Speaker 4: I did?
Speaker 5: There is an application process and so I saw it
Speaker 5: in September and I just applied. It's something that was
Speaker 5: kind of a little joke in my family. My boys
Speaker 5: were always like, Mom, you should totally apply, and I'm
Speaker 5: was like, I'll never get chosen. And so I saw
Speaker 5: it and I thought, you know what, I am just
Speaker 5: going to fill that out this year and see what happens.
Speaker 5: And I did, and I totally forgot about it. And
Speaker 5: about a month later there was the email in my emails.
Speaker 2: So the process of getting for Cincinnati to DC, what
Speaker 2: did it entail? And especially when you got there, you know,
Speaker 2: besides having agnoged with Trump, what happened?
Speaker 4: So well?
Speaker 5: Once you are selected, you have to submit some additional
Speaker 5: information to go through some background and security clearance checks
Speaker 5: and so then once you get that final email that
Speaker 5: you've been cleared, you go to d C. They have
Speaker 5: a block of rooms that you can stay in. It's
Speaker 5: totally all you have to pay for it yourself, okay.
Speaker 5: And so I chose to go the three days after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 5: You can go for the whole week, so like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Speaker 5: nothing happens on Thanksgiving, and then Friday, Saturday, Sunday. But
Speaker 5: I just thought that was a lot for the first time,
Speaker 5: and I'm like, you know, I think I'll just go
Speaker 5: for the last three days. And so once you get there,
Speaker 5: you have to go down every morning at six thirty
Speaker 5: in the morning to get on a bus and you
Speaker 5: get checked by Secret Service. They ride the bus with you.
Speaker 5: You know. You go through screening services every single day
Speaker 5: to get into the White House just to decorate. So
Speaker 5: it's a lot, that's a lot of there's a long
Speaker 5: process and it's very long days.
Speaker 2: Do you go to the basement and bring up the
Speaker 2: decorations and the trees and stuff?
Speaker 4: What do you do or how do you decorate? Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, on Monday, the volunteers are taken to Everything is
Speaker 5: stored in a warehouse off site. And since you know,
Speaker 5: since the Kennedy administration, I hear, and so they are
Speaker 5: in charge there. There's a plan. The first Lady's office
Speaker 5: works all year on the plan and what the decor
Speaker 5: is going to look like. And so they have a
Speaker 5: list of all the things and they know what's in
Speaker 5: the warehouse. So a lot of the things that you
Speaker 5: see on the trees, a lot of orn and things
Speaker 5: are from years past and we just repurposed them like
Speaker 5: you would in your own home. And yeah, so they
Speaker 5: pull the things off the shelves, Everything has to get screened,
Speaker 5: it gets shipped to the White House on Tuesday, it's
Speaker 5: placed in the rooms where it's supposed to go on
Speaker 5: the trees or the mantles, and then they spend Tuesday
Speaker 5: and Wednesday putting lights on all of those trees because
Speaker 5: the trees, every tree is a real live tree, and
Speaker 5: so every tree has to have lights put on it.
Speaker 5: And there were like I think fifty four or fifty
Speaker 5: seven trees this year. There's a lot, and they're big trees.
Speaker 2: So were you actually putting the lights on and putting
Speaker 2: stuff on the mantles and putting the ornaments on the trees.
Speaker 5: On Friday. When I got there, the trees were not
Speaker 5: fully lit yet, so we had to work in pairs
Speaker 5: to put the lights on the trees. I volunteered to
Speaker 5: hold branches so someone else could climb in because the
Speaker 5: lights have to be put on a specific way. So
Speaker 5: I did that for many hours on Friday, and then
Speaker 5: I also tied some ribbons on some ornaments that we're
Speaker 5: going to go on the bi centennial trees in the
Speaker 5: East room. And then on Saturday and Sunday, I worked
Speaker 5: in the Green room, which was the family fun theme,
Speaker 5: and there are dominoes and the lego portrait of President
Speaker 5: Trump and George Washington are in that room, and so
Speaker 5: I worked on the mantle and constructing those domino towers
Speaker 5: that were conceived by Missus Trump's creative director, who also
Speaker 5: did her inaugural ball gown. So shout out to air Vay,
Speaker 5: but yeah, and so we did the mantle, the ribbons
Speaker 5: and all of that, and then displacing the different decor
Speaker 5: in the room. Air Vay was the one who really
Speaker 5: conceived that room, and also the butterfly room that I'm
Speaker 5: sure a lot of people have seen. It's the Red
Speaker 5: Room and it has all these beautiful blue butterflies. There's
Speaker 5: like ten thousand butterflies in that room, and it's really
Speaker 5: striking in person. I don't even think that the photos
Speaker 5: online really do it justice. It's beautiful in person. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 5: So did you do a lot of hand work?
Speaker 4: Did you see anybody famous?
Speaker 2: Did you see the ghost of Abraham Lincoln anything like that?
Speaker 5: No? No, I did not.
Speaker 6: Know.
Speaker 2: My final question is do you have to go back
Speaker 2: and pack all the stuff up? Now?
Speaker 5: You know there are actually volunteers who do that, and
Speaker 5: it is all going to be packed up. And it
Speaker 5: breaks my heart to say this, but it's all going
Speaker 5: to be packed up. I think like December twenty first
Speaker 5: or twenty second.
Speaker 4: And wow.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The reason for that is I think they're going to
Speaker 5: give some of the White House staff the time off
Speaker 5: because the First Family won't be there for the holidays,
Speaker 5: and so that's nice for the staff to be able
Speaker 5: to have that time off and spend with their families too,
Speaker 5: So you know, in the end, it works out for everyone.
Speaker 2: Hey, Becky Staples decorating the White House here this year.
Speaker 2: That's just an incredible story. Thank you for telling it
Speaker 2: to us here on the radio.
Speaker 5: Okay, great, thank you too, Steve.

Speaker 2: running number one song in Billboard chart history. This year
Speaker 2: it got its twentieth told every year they put it
Speaker 2: back out on the charts or something, but it has
Speaker 2: now been the number one song on Billboard's chart for

Speaker 2: get his way. We'll tell you all about it. Seven
Speaker 2: hundred w WELW, Cincinnati. Stephen Coortinoy, our ABC News national
Speaker 2: correspondent in Washington. Hey, I see the Supreme Court has
Speaker 2: blocked the National Guard deployment in Chicago for Trump.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean this is a significant deal. Look, the
Speaker 8: Supreme Court sent a signal yesterday to the President of
Speaker 8: the country. It seems to me that the National Guard
Speaker 8: should not be the first line that the present relies
Speaker 8: on if there are, you know, protests or any other
Speaker 8: kinds of things going on that might inhibit ice. Look,
Speaker 8: the administration has argued that the law allows the president
Speaker 8: to deploy the National Guard to protect federal personnel and property,
Speaker 8: but yesterday, in an unsigned six to three order that
Speaker 8: did not fall along the traditional ideological lines, the High
Speaker 8: Court said that under the law the president has invoked,
Speaker 8: he must first deploy the regular military, the active duty troops,
Speaker 8: and then be unable to enforce the law with active
Speaker 8: duty troops alone, and then he can send in the
Speaker 8: National Guard. That's the way the Court leads the statute.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 8: Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who joined the majority but wrote
Speaker 8: separately essentially to express his own misgivings about it, said
Speaker 8: that one possible ramification of this is that to protect
Speaker 8: federal personnel and property such as ice facilities in and
Speaker 8: around Chicago, the president could end up using the regular
Speaker 8: military more than the National Guard. There's one wrinkle here
Speaker 8: I have to point to, and that's the Posse Commet
Speaker 8: Tottis Act, which generally prohibits the use of the military
Speaker 8: for domestic law enforcement. That's well understood, but there's also
Speaker 8: there are exceptions to it, namely the Insurrection Act, which
Speaker 8: President Trump has not invoked. President Eisenhower and Kennedy did
Speaker 8: invoke the Insurrection Act in the middle of the twentieth
Speaker 8: century to enforce court orders on civil rights. Eisenhower and
Speaker 8: Kennedy sent in the active duty military and federalized the
Speaker 8: National Guard to see to it that black children could
Speaker 8: attend segregated schools, and George Herbert Walker Bush invoked the
Speaker 8: Insurrection Act to put down the LA riots.
Speaker 4: So the question.
Speaker 8: Is is that the next step that President Trump is
Speaker 8: going to take.
Speaker 4: We don't know. So far.
Speaker 8: The response from the White House to yesterday's Supreme Court
Speaker 8: decision has been relatively muted, saying that the President remains
Speaker 8: committed to his mission of enforcing federal law and saying
Speaker 8: that the court's ruling won't.
Speaker 2: Detract from that. We'll see, Steems, Thanks for your report.
Speaker 2: Have a great holiday season.
Speaker 4: Bet you two. Merry Christmas. You two.
Speaker 2: Uh, everybody else listening have a great merry Christmas.
