3

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: is now down to just Haley versus Donald Trump. That's

Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Michael Shepard sets the scene.

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: New Hampshire's famous for surprises, and yet I think that

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: we are heading toward what could be another Trump victory

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: based on the polling that we're seeing ahead of the

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: actual primary kicking off in a couple of hours.

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg's Michael Sheppard. Now, Hailey supporters are saying

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: she still has a chance to upset Trump or at

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 1: least come in a close second, but that window is narrowing.

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: The US is signaling it intends to wage a sustained

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,120

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: us reiterate our warning to Houthi leadership. We will not

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,240

Speaker 1: He said bias on the platform is toward more free speech.

29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: Free speech wins in that if somebody says something that's false,

30
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: especially on our platform, you can then reply to it

31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 4: with the correction and then I'm a huge plan of

32
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: community notes. We've put maximum resources and attention behind community notes.

33
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 4: So if somebody tries to push a falsehood like Holocaust

34
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: denial or something like that, they can immediately be corrected

35
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 4: and you can't get rid of the tag. It's like

36
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:11,640

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,720

45
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,600

46
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,880

50
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy eight billion dollars worth of firepower,

51
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: mainly from offshore accounts of Chinese state owned enterprises. Now

52
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,240

55
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,160

00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: for force full steps to bolster confidence. The Biden administration

57
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: is saying Nippon Steele's bid to buy US deal deserves

58
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,160

Speaker 1: National Economic Council, layl Brainerd.

60
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 5: When it comes to particular acquisitions, obviously, we have a

61
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 5: law in place that is designed to ensure that national

62
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,040

00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 5: Steel is an industry that has very important national security considerations.

64
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,320

Speaker 1: the Nipon US Steel deal is valued at fourteen point

67
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: one billion dollars and it would create the world's second

68
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: largest steel company. Union leaders and prominent Democrats have worried

69
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: about the deal's impact not only on jobs, but supply

70
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,400
