11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,040

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 3: policy that defined Trump's position policy at the US Mexico border.

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 3: He will be some kind of a border czar, which

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: means he won't have to face Senate confirmation and can

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: try to run things right out of the White House

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:55,920

49
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 4: next seventy days to make the case to the Congress

50
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 4: and to the incoming administration that the United States should

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: not walk away from Ukraine. That walking away from Ukraine

52
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: means more instability in Europe, and ultimately, as the Japanese

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 4: Prime Minister said, if we walk away from Ukraine in Europe,

54
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: the question about America's commitment to where allies in Asia

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: will grow.

56
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 2: The White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan's comments come

57
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: as Trump's election victory and Republican control of potentially both

58
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: houses of Congress raise questions about the future of US

59
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: support for Ukraine.

60
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: May Weil Nathan Trump reportedly spoke of the Russian President

61
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. Last Thursday, two days after the election, The

62
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: Washington Post is reporting Trump advised Putin not to escalate

63
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine. This morning, the Kremlin is denying

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: the two leaders spoke. During his campaign, Trump said he

65
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: would bring an immediate end to the conflict.

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: Cern markets now karen Us. Bond markets are closed because

67
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: it's Veterans Day, but stocks they're coming off their best

68
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: week of the year, rose four point seven percent during

69
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,440

Speaker 2: strategist at Edward Jones, says the equity rallies broadening across

72
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: various sectors and expects that to continue post election.

73
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 5: We do think that that broadening of market leadership theme

74
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 5: does have legs independent of what was happening in politics.

75
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 5: We were seeing lower Fed funds rate, lower interest rates,

76
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 5: as well as a earnings expansion driving that story. We

77
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 5: think the addition of those pro growth policies add some

78
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 5: fuel to that fire.

79
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: Monimahadgen of Edward Jones says the equity rally could broaden

80
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: further if some of presidents elect Trump's pro growth policies

81
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: are pasted.

82
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: And Nathan, we are seeing some of the Trump trades

83
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,799

84
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Markets reporter Valerie Title sys the move is very

85
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: clearly linked to Trump's election win.

86
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 6: Since the first of November, Bitcoin has rallied fifteen percent

87

88
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 6: percent so far in this morning's trade. Trump is seen

89
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 6: as very friendly to cryptocurrency assets, and then pair that

90
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 6: with the fact that he's teamed up with Elon Musk.

91
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 6: That seems very positive for cryptocurrencies generally, and we've seen

92
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 6: Bitcoin not wait for any further clarity but take a

93
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 6: leap higher on that.

94
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: And Bloomer's Valery Title says Bitcoin is sored by more

95
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: than ninety percent in value this year.

96
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,880

Speaker 11: won twenty to seventeen. Tracy, to his credit, owned up

160
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 11: after the game.

161
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 9: I'm put a lot into this game. You know, well,

162
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 9: swat and tears, you know, the same everybody say. But

163
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 9: like I play with passion. I felt you could see

164
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 9: it on the field. I have a lot of energy

165
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 9: and I hold myself to a hot standard. So when

166
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 9: you know, when things like that happened with the game

167
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 9: on the line, you know, and overtime come all the

168
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 9: way back, like you know, that's the last thing in

169
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 9: your mind that you want to happen.

170
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 11: Giants go to the Byeway with a five game losing streak. Later,

171
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 11: it was the Jets getting wallowed by the Cardinals thirty

172
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 11: one to six. Arizona score touchdowns on their first three possessions.

173
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 11: Kyler Murray twenty two of twenty fours. The Jets dropped

174
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 11: to three and seven. Look like Kansas City would suffer

175
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 11: its first loss. Denver lined up for a game winning

176
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 11: field goal.

177
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 7: Fox witting for the snap place winners down.

178
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,880

Speaker 6: Gotta stay undefeated.

180
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 11: One of six ' five. The Wolf Jeeps won sixteen fourteen.

181
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 11: They're nine to oh Detroit eight and one. Didn't look

Speaker 11: good last night for them in Houston, Down twenty three

183
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 11: seven at half time, the Lions roared back to win.

184
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 11: Twenty six, twenty three. Jake Bates, who kicked the game

185
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,679

Speaker 11: In Chicago held the Bears one hundred and forty two yards.

192

193
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 11: Pacers made twenty one three pointers. Nick's had only seven

199
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager. President Donald Trump is making quick moves

200
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 2: to fill out key positions for his second term. They

201
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: include a new border czar former acting ICE Director Tom Homan,

202
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,359
Speaker 2: who may have hinted at his approach at the Republican

203
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 2: National Convention back in July.

204
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: Has a guy who spent thirty four years departing illegal aliens.

205
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 3: I got a message to themands of illegal aliens that

206
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's releasing our country and violation.

207
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 11: Of federal law, you better start packing now.

208
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: Joining us for more on the president elect policy moves

209
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: and more from the nation's capital, we are joined by

210
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: Bloomberg News senior editor Bill Ferries.

211
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 8: Bill.

212
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: Good morning. For those for whom Tom Homan is not

213
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: necessarily a familiar name, what does his appointment suggest about

214
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: how President elect Trump could approach the immigration issue in

215
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: his second term.

216
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: Well, I think it tells you first how important this

217
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: issue is to President elect Trump. I mean, he is

218
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: really outside of his chief of staff Susie Wiles is

219
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: Tom Homan is one of the first names that the

220
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: President elect has announced, So it's clear he's moving quickly

221
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: on that. It's clear it's going to be a priority.

222
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 3: And Tom Homan may not be a household name, but

223
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: his policies are certainly well known. He was really the

224
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 3: author of the family separation policy that was so controversial

225
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: during President Trump's first term, and he has been a

226
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: staunch defender of that approach even back since it started

227
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen. So I think it tells you how

228
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: important it is. I think it tells you how quickly

229
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 3: President Trump wants to move and the fact that he's

230
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: going to be kind of a czar based in the

231
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 3: White House means there's no there won't be any need

232
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: for a Senate confirmation process, so he can start essentially

233
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 3: on day one with the president.

234
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: Is there a suggestion then that the border zar could

235
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: be a more powerful position under a second Trump administration

236
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: than the Senate confirmable positions willd to immigration and border security.

237
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 3: Well, certainly, I mean, we'll have to see how other

238
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: positions come out, but there is a sense that, perhaps,

239
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: having learned from his first term, President Elect Trump is

240
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 3: going to have a number of people who have czar

241
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: like titles based in the White House, essentially senior advisors

242
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,239
Speaker 3: or senior counselors who may in fact have more influence

243
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 3: than agency heads or even cabinet secretaries in some cases.

244
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: Interesting as well, that we're hearing one of the first

245
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: Senate confirmable positions that President elect Trump has announced is

246
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: for United Nations Ambassador, and he's turning to a pretty

247
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: staunch loyalist on Capitol Hill to fill out that post.

248
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's turning to a Congresswoman Elise Stephanic, someone who

249
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: was really kind of more of a moderate Republican in

250
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: her early years in Congress, but who made a sharp

251
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: turn became a big defender of President Trump in the

252
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: second half of his term. Was someone who you know,

253
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: opposed his votes of impeachment and was actually I think

254
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: the first member of Congress to or one of the

255
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: first to endorse him for a third term ahead of

256
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 3: this year's election. So a true loyalist, someone who will

257
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 3: likely sit in the cabinet as a as a UN envoy,

258
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 3: and someone who you know, the president president elect feels

259
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 3: like he can trust wholeheartedly.

260
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: For the President to like to pick someone on Capitol

261
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: Hill Republican in the House, does that suggest some kind

262
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: of confidence that president like Trump feels like the Republican

263
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: Party is going to hold on to the House. It's

264
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: still not quite called just yet terms of the majority.

265
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: It's not called. We have the latest that in terms

266
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: of called races two hundred and thirteen Republicans to two

267
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 3: hundred and three Democrats. There was one more Republican seat

268
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 3: that was called in Arizona about seven hours ago. But

269
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: it does look like Republicans are leading in most of

270
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: the in the remaining seats by and large, So there

271
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: is a lot of confidence on the Republican side that

272
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 3: they will hold the Congress the lower the House representatives. Now, remember,

273
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: holding it with a narrow lead can be just as

274
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: challenging as as as not having the majority.

275
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 8: In some cases.

276
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 3: We've seen Mike Johnson really struggle on in some situations

277
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: to get his caucus to vote. He's needed Democratic support

278
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: in a lot of cases. So, but you'd rather have

279
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 3: a slim majority rather than a slim minority heading into

280
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: heading into the next you know cycle here.

281
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: Got about a minute left bill. What to make of

282
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: these now conflicting reports that President elect Trump had a

283
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: phone call with Vladimir Putin of Russia just about two

284
00:14:58,760 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: days after the election.

285
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, there was a Washington Post story saying

286
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 3: that President Trump had a call with Putin and then

287
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: he warned the Russian president against escalating the war in Ukraine.

288
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 3: You know, we don't have any confirmation of that. Ourselves.

289
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: It would not be a surprise there. Now, we've seen

290
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 3: reports that from Bob Woodward that former President Trump may

291
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 3: have had a number of calls with Vladimir Putin during

292
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: his four years away from the White House. He has

293
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: promised to end the war in Ukraine before taking office,

294
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 3: so this would be in line with that. We know

295
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: he did speak with the Ukraine President Zelenski, so it

296
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: is entirely plausible that they've had this talk and that

297
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,359
Speaker 3: they'll have more talks before President Trump.

298
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:46,600
