1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm Brian Curtiz and I'm Doug Prisner. Here

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: are the stories we're following today. Kevin McCarthy no longer

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House of Representatives. Let's get to ed

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Baxter Eddie.

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, quite a day, Doug history. The vote turned out

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: to be relatively close.

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: The Ya's are two sixteen, the nays are two ten.

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 3: The resolution is adopted without objection. The motion to reconsider

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: is laid on the table. The office of Speaker of

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: the House of the United States House of Representatives is

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 3: hereby declared vacant.

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 2: Now, there was a thought that Democrats might rescue McCarthy.

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff says the Democrats didn't vote to

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: save him because he's just plainly not trustworthy. We don't

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: feel that it's in the best interest of the country

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: to have the House of Represents continue to alert from

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: crisis to crisis. Now right wing republic and Matt Gates

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: has been the lightninggrod behind this movement and says nobody

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: trusts McCarthy, and.

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: McCarthy has made multiple contradictory promises, and when they all

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 3: came to he lost votes of people who maybe don't

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 3: even ideologically agree with me on everything.

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: Now, McCarthy before the vote said he doesn't regret any

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: decisions he's made.

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: The end of the day, keeping government open and paying

26
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: our troops was the right decision.

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 4: I stand by that decision.

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: So next well, electing a new speaker. Now, the last

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: one resembled mud wrestling, and Bloomberg's Wendy Benjaminson says, backroom

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: deals or what ultimately brought McCarthy down.

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 4: That's right. And the one backroom deal he made that

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: presumably the next person who's up for speaker will not

33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 4: make is the concession to allow any one member to

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: post this motion to vacate. And that's what Matt Gates

35
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 4: demanded in return for to vote to make McCarthy the speaker.

36
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 4: And now that has come up home to rust and

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: Matt Gates has vacated him a speaker. So that was

38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: a deal that you know didn't turn out so well

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 4: for McCarthy.

40
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: So now, if you want to put another wrinkle on

41
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: all of this, Bloomberg's Rick Davis says, McCarthy still has

42
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: cards to play.

43
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 5: It's really up to Kevin McCarthy right now, do you

44
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 5: want to be nominated to try another run for speaker

45
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 5: where you think you can get more than two hundred

46
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 5: and ten votes next time, or do you open it

47
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 5: up to somebody else to be nominated and see how

48
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 5: their luck fares. This is really the biggest question on

49
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 5: the floor of the House of Representatives right now.

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so your witnessing history. Next steps are to try

51
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: and elect a new House Speaker that will suck up

52
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: most of the energy out of the chamber until the

53
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: process is completed. Global News powered by more than twenty

54
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: seven hundred journalists and and lists over one hundred and

55
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: twenty countries, and we'll continue to have more details on

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: this breaking story in San Francisco. I'm Ed Baxter. This

57
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: is Bloomberg Brian.

58
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 6: It absolutely will have a lot more on this coming

59
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 6: up shortly with Henrietta Treys, managing partner and director of

60
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 6: Economic Policy at Vada Partners and get her insights. But

61
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 6: first we'll take a look at some of the other

62
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 6: top stories. Treasury yields hitting new multi year highs after

63
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 6: the government reported an unexpected increase in US job openings

64
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 6: during August. We get more here from Bloomberg's Michael McKee.

65
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 7: We've gone up in terms of job openings by six

66
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 7: hundred and ninety thousand, two over nine million. Again, that

67
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 7: is a significant increase. For the Jolts report job openings

68
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 7: and labor turnover hirings. The number of people getting hired

69
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 7: changed little, is still at about five point nine million,

70
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 7: so a very stable situation there. And then the quit

71
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 7: rate everybody's been focused on. The quit rate doesn't change

72
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 7: at all. Quits three point six million, pretty much the

73
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 7: same as the prior month, and that leaves the quit

74
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 7: rate unchanged at two point three percent.

75
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 6: Berg's Michael McKee the jump in job openings was mainly

76
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 6: driven by white.

77
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: Collar position and today's data on the labor market did

78
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: boost the case for the Fed to keep rates elevated.

79
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: We heard today from the head of the Atlanta Fed,

80
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: rafae Elbostik. He was saying rates should be held at

81
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: elevated levels for a long time as a way of

82
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: bringing inflation back down to the Fed's two percent target.

83
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: He also said he is expecting just one rate cut

84
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: being appropriate in twenty twenty four, and that would happen

85
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: sometime near the end of next year. Meantime, the head

86
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: of the Cleveland Fed, Lorettamester, was saying she would support

87
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: another rate hike. In November, we also heard from US

88
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and she said she's keeping an

89
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: eye on this run up in market interest rates.

90
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 8: I'm very optimistic about the US economic outlook. Short term

91
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 8: inflation is coming down in the context of an extremely

92
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 8: strong labor market. We are now engaging in a very

93
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 8: substantial program of investments to strengthen our economy.

94
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: That is US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Interestingly, she said

95
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: it's not a given that interest rates wilstay elevated for

96
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: a long period of time, right.

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 6: Well, a lot of uncertainty in the markets, and we

98
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 6: saw that with what happened to the end, the yen

99
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 6: rebounded from the weakest levels of the year with a

100
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 6: strong rally. Bloomberg's Joan Wong has the story.

101
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 9: Japan's currency reached one fifteen point one six per dollar

102
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 9: on Tuesday in New York trading. The yen then sold

103
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 9: nearly two percent in a matter of seconds to as

104
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 9: strong as one hundred and forty seven point four to

105
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 9: three per dollar. It lasts traded at around one forty nine,

106
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 9: with traders selling yen again as US yields rose to

107
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 9: the highest level since two thousand and seven. There's speculation

108
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 9: that Japanese officials were acting to slow the currency slide,

109
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 9: and official with Japan's Ministry of Finance had no comment

110
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 9: on whether Japan had intervened on the yen in Hong

111
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 9: Kong joined Wang Bloomberg Radio later.

112
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: Today, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand has a rate decision,

113
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: and the RBNZ is seen keeping rates on hold at

114
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: five and a half percent. Even so, the central bank

115
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: is also expected to keep open the option of future

116
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,559
Speaker 1: rate hikes. We have a preview from Bloomberg's Paul Allen.

117
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 10: All Twenty two economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect a hawkish

118
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 10: hold from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. Today. Inflation

119
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 10: is trending down but still well outside the target band,

120
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 10: but growth is holding up. Revised data shows the country

121
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 10: actually dodged a shallow recession in the second quarter. A

122
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 10: hold would certainly come as a relief to the governing

123
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 10: Labor Party, with opinion polls indicating a heavy election defeat

124
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 10: and store in ten days time. Uncertainty over who forms

125
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 10: the next government may also tempt the RBNZ to wait

126
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 10: and see if changes to fiscal policy are coming, Paul

127
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 10: Allen Bloomberg radio.

128
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 6: Back in the United States, jurious election was conducted today

129
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 6: in the trial of Sam Bankman Freed, he's accused of

130
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 6: swindling billions of dollars from the crypto Exchange FTX. Tomorrow,

131
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 6: the prosecution will begin laying out its case. Here's Bloomberg's

132
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 6: Kayley lines.

133
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 11: The prosecution also will be assisted by the accounts of

134
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 11: multiple key witnesses, some of the Bankman Fried's closest associates

135
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 11: at the time all of this went down, Gary Wong,

136
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 11: who co founded FTX with him, Nishad Saying who used

137
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 11: to be ftx's head of engineering, and Caroline Ellison, who

138
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 11: was the CEO of alime To Research, the aforementioned training firm,

139
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 11: and also his ex girlfriend. All of them have already

140
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 11: pleaded guilty to federal charges and are cooperating with prosecutors,

141
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 11: so they will be able to lean on their testimony

142
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 11: on the defense side. Though Sam Bankman Freeing already leading

143
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 11: up to this trial, has said repeatedly it was never

144
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 11: his intention to commit fraud, and intention is what is

145
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 11: going to have to be proven over the course of

146
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:43,559
Speaker 11: this trial.

147
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 6: That's Bloomberg's Kayley Lines bankman. Freed has pleaded not guilty

148
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 6: to all seven charges, including fraud and conspiracy to commit

149
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 6: money laundering. I'm Brian Curtis along with Doug Christner, and

150
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 6: the big story of the day Republican Kevin McCarthy ousted

151
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 6: by this disas within his own party. Joining us now

152
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 6: is Henrietta Trees, managing partner and director of Economic Policy

153
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 6: at Veda Partners. Henrietta, thanks so much for joining us.

154
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 6: I think that's the right way to put it, that

155
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 6: he was ousted by dissidence within his own party. We

156
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 6: know that the big part of the story, as well

157
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 6: as the Democrats refusing to rescue him, and we talk

158
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 6: about that in a moment. In the short term, it

159
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 6: means that the speakership battle will begin again, and it

160
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 6: doesn't mean that Kevin McCarthy won't get the job back.

161
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 6: So how do you see that moving and is there

162
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 6: a lot of horse trading coming?

163
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 12: I think it's a very good point. The unknowns are

164
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 12: more voluminous than anybody would care to admit. I think

165
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 12: that what is plaining is that his replacement, Patrick McHenry

166
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 12: is not there of his own volition. You could see

167
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 12: that as he gabbled out this afternoon. I think Speaker

168
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 12: McCarthy would be just a glutton for punishment if you

169
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 12: tried to go for this again. More realistically, you'll see

170
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 12: representatives emerans plice either have their names thrown into the

171
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 12: ring to either be dismissed by themselves personally Scalise for example,

172
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 12: for health issues, or they will immediately sort of be

173
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 12: rejected by the far right again for being part of

174
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 12: the establishment or old guard. There are one hundred and

175
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 12: ninety six to two hundred and ten members of the

176
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 12: Republican Party who have supported Kevin McCarthy over the last

177
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 12: five days, and for many in the far right that's

178
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 12: just an untenable position for them to take. So I

179
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 12: think the effort to get to two eighteen is going

180
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 12: to be fraught, and we could easily be here for

181
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 12: weeks before we have a final speaker.

182
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Late last month, I don't need to remind you.

183
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: Moody's the only remaining major credit greater to give the

184
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: US a top rating, said confidence in the US was

185
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: wavering a bit insofar as the firm was concerned because

186
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: of their concern about governance. Where does that leave us

187
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: right now in terms of how markets have to discount

188
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: the dysfunction that we seem to be seeing.

189
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 12: I think it's a perfectly valid position at this point.

190
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 12: They do not have anything to take to any incoming

191
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 12: speaker and say this is our clear list of demands.

192
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 12: They are worried about the border, but don't know if

193
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 12: they can send border funding or border policy to a

194
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 12: piece of legislation. They're worried about Ukraine funding, but the

195
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 12: Senate Republican Conference wants all the Ukraine funding that they

196
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 12: can get. They are worried about the debt and the deficit,

197
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 12: but they're looking to trim sixty billion dollars in spending

198
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 12: this year when sixteen trillion dollars needs to actually be eliminated.

199
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 12: So I think that what's happening is you're confronting a

200
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 12: bunch of freshmen and relatively new House members who want

201
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 12: it all and don't know how to get any of it.

202
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 12: And that's effectively what the ratings agencies have called them

203
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 12: out for.

204
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 6: Let's talk for a moment about the Democrats refusing to

205
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 6: rescue McCarthy. Is that pure politics? I mean, this puts

206
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 6: the Republican Party in disarray. Some might even say chaos.

207
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 6: Is it the right thing for the country or was

208
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 6: this a move really just to get a leg up

209
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 6: on the Republicans.

210
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 12: You know, there were what five or six House Democrats

211
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 12: that didn't vote today that should have been more than

212
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 12: enough for McCarthy to work with. He got more than

213
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 12: that in the previous votes that he needed to maintain

214
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 12: the speakership or to even secure the speakership. He has

215
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 12: lost less members than that on certain key and procedural votes,

216
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 12: such as the ones on the motion to adjourn over

217
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 12: the weekend. There were plenty of Democrats that were not

218
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 12: present and voting had he been able to keep the

219
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 12: far right from eating into his caucus, So I'd have

220
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 12: a hard time ascribing blame to Democrats here. It's also

221
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 12: really hard to imagine Minority Leader Jeffries given an opportunity

222
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 12: to say, you know, go vote for another speaker, when

223
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 12: of course they have the permission and the ability to

224
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 12: vote for Jeffries, which is what we'll see from them

225
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 12: throughout next week as they start taking votes on the

226
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 12: speaker's position.

227
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: I think we can agree this rebellion was precipitated by

228
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: some of the bipartisan deals McCarthy put together one on

229
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: preventing a default on us, said the other just the

230
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: other day on government funding, which only takes us through

231
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: November seventeenth. What happens after November seventeenth.

232
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's the question. The bipartisanship is really obviously the

233
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 12: problem for the far right, but that is the math

234
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 12: that we have to work with. The Senate is controlled

235
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 12: by Democrats, so that doesn't change here. I think what

236
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 12: immediately needs to happen is we need to reassess our

237
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 12: odds or I certainly do, about what the prospect is

238
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 12: for a shutdown on November eighteenth. And I think that

239
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 12: what we need to start off with is a hope

240
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 12: at the barest level that we can get some standalone

241
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 12: appropriations bills done for perhaps defense or maybe agriculture, get

242
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 12: those buils done so that when we do face November eighteenth,

243
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 12: it's not a full shutdown. But the odds of a

244
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 12: shutdown have to start at sixty five percent or higher.

245
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 12: For my clients, I usually am at about five percent.

246
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 12: I'm very bearish on these kinds of things. I was

247
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 12: only at twenty five percent we would shut down going

248
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 12: into this weekend. Now that we're in this new world.

249
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 12: I think you have to start at least sixty five.

250
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 12: There's a strong argument to make for seventy five, and

251
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 12: I bet the street will be much higher than me

252
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 12: come Monday morning.

253
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 6: We could talk until the cows come home about this story.

254
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 6: From the inside look out, but I want to go

255
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 6: outside the United States. I look at the press out

256
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 6: here in Asia a lot for a feature that we do,

257
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 6: and oftentimes you hear people talk about American exceptionalism. Is

258
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 6: this the opposite of that? I mean, does the US

259
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 6: look somewhat in disarray with something like this?

260
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 12: We are in an exceptional state of disarray. And there's

261
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 12: a great quote that's effectively, we are a functional dysfunctional unit.

262
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 12: And I wouldn't be surprised if you hear that all

263
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 12: over the world. Now, I mean, this is the height

264
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 12: of dysfunction. And it's not even party on party, you know,

265
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 12: this is intra party fighting that we see here, and

266
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 12: these slim majorities are exactly what it makes it so

267
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 12: difficult to govern. I can imagine some of the old

268
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 12: guards coming out and saying, you know, this kind of

269
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 12: dysfunction is what keeps America, you know, and our democratic

270
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 12: rights alive. But it is obviously the kind of thing

271
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 12: you think of. If you want to say something good

272
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 12: about a dictatorship, you don't have to go through this.

273
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 12: So I wouldn't be surprised if that's the argument. I mean,

274
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 12: the disarray in the US, particularly when it has real

275
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 12: ramifications on things like at Ukraine, are understandably a big

276
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 12: concern for our allies and not so allies abroad.

277
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: So the temporary speaker now is Representative Patrick McHenry Henrietta.

278
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: Can he bring the temperature down? Do you think effectively?

279
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 12: I actually have a lot of questions about what he

280
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 12: can do. I want to know if he's capable of

281
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 12: path legislation. I want to know if he could put

282
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 12: legislation on the floor. I don't expect him to immediately

283
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 12: come in and claim the mantle of speaker. I think

284
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 12: he's going to, at least for several hours or days,

285
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 12: make it plain that he did not want this position.

286
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 12: He was on McCarthy's shortlist and is not doing this

287
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 12: of his own volition. I don't know a happy warrior

288
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 12: is quite the way to term this yet, because I

289
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 12: don't think he's very happy. But I do think that

290
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 12: he is going to be the person that's in power

291
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 12: for probably a few weeks, which will give him time

292
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 12: to secure a foothold within the conference and try to

293
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 12: unite them around him. And it's the heavy task but

294
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 12: certainly could be accomplished.

295
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,080
