Speaker 6: Appen everywhere you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager.
Speaker 1: And I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today.
Speaker 2: We begin with the debt ceiling stalemate. Treasury Secretary Janet
Speaker 2: Yellen says failure to avoid a default would have devastating consequences.
Speaker 7: In my assessment, and that if economists across the board,
Speaker 7: a default on US obligations would produce an economic and
Speaker 7: financial catastrophe. A default would threaten the gains that we've
Speaker 7: worked so hard to make over the past few years
Speaker 7: in our pandemic recovery, and it would spark a global
Speaker 7: downturn that would set us back much further.
Speaker 2: Speaking at the G seven in Japan, Yellen said a
Speaker 2: default would also undermine Washington's ability to defend national security. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: President Biden says an agreement needs to be reached.
Speaker 8: If we default on our debt, the whole world is
Speaker 8: in trouble. This is a manufactured crisis. There's no question
Speaker 8: about America's ability to pay its bills. Am strongest economy
Speaker 8: in the world. We should be cutting spending the lower
Speaker 8: in the depth, so without a needless crisis, in a
Speaker 8: responsible way.
Speaker 2: President Biden is scheduled to resume debt talks with House
Speaker 2: Speaker Kevin McCarthy tomorrow. It's a subject we will address
Speaker 2: in an exclusive interview with Janet Yellen. Tune in for
Speaker 2: that conversation with the Treasury Secretary tomorrow morning. On Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 1: Meantime, Nathan Donald Trump is weighing in on debt ceiling talks.
Speaker 1: The Republican presidential front runner is urging his party not
Speaker 1: to give in.
Speaker 9: I say to the Republicans out there, congressman, senators, if
Speaker 9: they don't give you massive cuts, you're going to have
Speaker 9: to do a default. And I don't believe they're going
Speaker 9: to do a default because I think the Democrats will
Speaker 9: absolutely cave.
Speaker 1: Former President Trump made the comments at a town hall
Speaker 1: event with CNN last night.
Speaker 2: Well, the default deadline, Karen, isn't the only one we're following.
Speaker 2: This morning. Hundreds of US troops are being deployed to
Speaker 2: the US southern border, along with marshalls, immigration officials, and
Speaker 2: the National Guard, as Title forty two restrictions come to
Speaker 2: an end. Amy Morris has details from our Bloomberg ninety
Speaker 2: nine one newsroom in Washington.
Speaker 10: Title forty two allowed US officials to expel migrants who
Speaker 10: crossed the southern border because of COVID restrictions, but the
Speaker 10: COVID Health Emergency was allowed to expire, and so was
Speaker 10: Title forty two. New immigration policies will be in effect
Speaker 10: at the border, and the Biden administration is bracing for
Speaker 10: a new wave of migrants. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandra Mayorcis
Speaker 10: tells ABC difficult days lie ahead.
Speaker 4: Make no mistake about it. It's going to be difficult
Speaker 4: for a while, and that is indeed what we are experiencing.
Speaker 10: The US has agreements with several countries to deny entry
Speaker 10: and send migrants back to their country of origin. Regional
Speaker 10: centers are also being set up to determine asylum status
Speaker 10: before they even start their journey, and it will be
Speaker 10: harder to claim asylum status in Washington. I Amy Morris
Speaker 10: Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 1: All right, Amy, thanks well. Elsewhere in politics and New York,
Speaker 1: Congressman George Santo sash Fleeta not guilty to a broad
Speaker 1: range of fraud and money laundering charges the Long Island
Speaker 1: or Allan is to find mounting pressure that he resigned.
Speaker 11: I'm gonna fight my battle, I'm gonna deliver, I'm gonna
Speaker 11: fight the witchard.
Speaker 2: I'm going to take care of Clary my name, and
Speaker 2: I look forward to doing that.
Speaker 1: And Congressman Santos spoke outside a federal courthouse on Long
Speaker 1: Island after posting a half million dollar bond. The thirteen
Speaker 1: count indictment accuses Santos of using campaign donations for his
Speaker 1: personal benefit, applying for jobless benefits while he was working
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, and lying to the House of Representatives.
Speaker 2: Let's turn the markets now, Karen. We're watching shares of
Speaker 2: Disney this morning. They're down more than five percent. Profit
Speaker 2: was in line with estimates, but the company's streaming service,
Speaker 2: Disney Plus, lost subscribers for the second straight quarter. Geeta
Speaker 2: Ronganathan covers Disney for Bloomberg Intelligence.
Speaker 12: The subscriber loss is a little bit concerning. We do
Speaker 12: know that they implemented a forty percent price hike on
Speaker 12: their Disney Plus service towards the end of last year,
Speaker 12: so it's going to be interesting to see whether it
Speaker 12: was the churn that kind of cossed that subscriber loss.
Speaker 2: Keita Ronganathan with Bloomberg Intelligence says paid subscriptions to this
Speaker 2: d Plus fell below one hundred and fifty eight million,
Speaker 2: analysts that expected just over one hundred and sixty three million.
Speaker 1: Melana Economic Front today, Nathan, we will get our second
Speaker 1: reading on inflation in as many days.
Speaker 10: This time, it's day.
Speaker 1: On April's producer prices, we get a preview from Bloomberg's
Speaker 1: Michael McKee.
Speaker 13: A rebound is forecast after producer prices unexpectedly fell in March.
Speaker 13: The drop didn't lead to a fall in consumer prices,
Speaker 13: which rose during April. The two series don't directly translate,
Speaker 13: as processing, transportation, and other middleman costs affect what consumers pay.
Speaker 13: That said, a small increase in wholesale prices in April
Speaker 13: would still leave headline and core PPI inflation lower for
Speaker 13: the year, a trend that would be a good sign
Speaker 13: at least that the Fed is on the right track
Speaker 13: and its efforts to bring down inflation, although today's report
Speaker 13: likely will have no impact on their next policy decision
Speaker 13: in June. Michael McKee Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 2: No Mike Thanks. In Europe, the Bank of England set
Speaker 2: to raise interest rates by a quarter point today. The
Speaker 2: move would take the UK's base ate to its highest
Speaker 2: level since two thousand and eight. The Bloomberg UK correspondent
Speaker 2: Lizzie Burden says, we are not expecting a unanimous decision
Speaker 2: from the Central Bank, and.
Speaker 14: We are expecting a quarter point height to four point
Speaker 14: five percent, but there is going to be a vote
Speaker 14: split on the committee. Economists reckon it'll be the same
Speaker 14: as last time, seven to two, because you've got doves
Speaker 14: like Silvana ten Rairo saying to be a hawk right
Speaker 14: now is like being a fool in the shower.
Speaker 2: Time out to take a look at some of the
Speaker 2: other stories making news in New York and around the
Speaker 2: world with Bloomberg's Michael By.
Speaker 3: Good Morning, Michael, Good morning, Nathan. New York Mayor Eric
Speaker 3: Adams is calling for more mental health services following the
Speaker 3: chokehold death of a homeless man on a city subway train.
Speaker 3: Authority s Jordan Neely had a history of mental illness
Speaker 3: before he was choked to death allegedly by a Marine veteran.
Speaker 3: Daniel Penny says Neely was acting aggressively in the subway car.
Speaker 15: Mayor Adams Jordan Neely did not deserve to die, and
Speaker 15: all of us must work together to do more for
Speaker 15: brothers and sisters struggling with serious mental illness.
Speaker 3: Mayor Adams says the circumstances surrounding Neely's death are still
Speaker 3: being investigated. California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein appeared on the
Speaker 3: Senate floor and voted on measures. The oldest serving US
Speaker 3: senator returned to the Capitol in a wheelchair as she
Speaker 3: continues to recover from shingles. Her absence has been a
Speaker 3: problem for Democrats who need her votes on the Judiciary

Speaker 3: a faced trial for alleged extortion and wire fraud charges
Speaker 3: stemming from the Holloway case. Van der Slute is currently
Speaker 3: serving a twenty eight year sentence in Peru for the

Speaker 16: by a factor of ten. There were people that were
Speaker 16: scheduled for staging cancer operations, and we had to make
Speaker 16: a decision should we do it? And we did them
Speaker 16: when it was appropriate. Some we're able to delay.
Speaker 3: Doctor Leffler says. Thirteen hundred hospital servers and five thousand
Speaker 3: computers had to be wiped. A job so big, Vermont's

Speaker 6: the Bloomberg Business app in Bloomberg dot Com. This is
Speaker 6: Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. The fight over
Speaker 6: the debt ceiling in the US is now getting international attention.
Speaker 6: Pressure is building on the White House in Congress to
Speaker 6: come to an agreement. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is in Japan,
Speaker 6: warning a default on US obligations would be unthinkable.
Speaker 7: America should never default. It would be tremendously economically and
Speaker 7: financially damaging.
Speaker 2: Secretary Yellen spoke ahead of the G seven Finance minister
Speaker 2: summit in Japan. Let's bring in Julie Norman once again
Speaker 2: for more on the debt ceiling. FY Julie's co director
Speaker 2: of the Center on US Politics at University College London.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Julie. The Treasury Secretary is saying that if
Speaker 2: the US does flirt with default, it would undermine America's
Speaker 2: international standing effect national security. Does that add any further
Speaker 2: pressure on lawmakers back in Washington?
Speaker 17: Good morning, Nathan. I wish I could say that yes
Speaker 17: it would, But honestly, you know, Yellen's statements, as important
Speaker 17: as they are, are things that are hopefully well known
Speaker 17: to everyone involved in this debate already, that the states
Speaker 17: of this are extremely high, not only for the United States,
Speaker 17: but indeed for the world's economy, for the US's sense
Speaker 17: of leadership within that, and for global market. So I
Speaker 17: don't think she's saying anything that's a surprise to anyone.
Speaker 17: It is important that she is saying this at the
Speaker 17: G seven, But what's really going to matter is what
Speaker 17: is hashed out in Washington, and unfortunately we're still not
Speaker 17: seeing much more movement there.
Speaker 2: Are you surprised that the Treasury Secretary is not in
Speaker 2: Washington right now when we are about three weeks from
Speaker 2: the x state that she set.
Speaker 17: Well, I mean the Jisuban Finance meeting I think is
Speaker 17: important as well, and you know it's it's again a
Speaker 17: place where US leadership on economic issues is central, and
Speaker 17: so it's important for her to be there, I think
Speaker 17: as well. And look, Yellen, I think was sounding the
Speaker 17: alarmed bell was about this, you know, months and day advance.
Speaker 17: She has been a very vocal advocate for trying to
Speaker 17: get this worked out from the very beginning. So whether
Speaker 17: she's making comments you know, from Asia or in the
Speaker 17: US right now, I don't think it's going to make
Speaker 17: or break the issue. But the important thing is that
Speaker 17: she's weighing in and she has been doing that consistently.
Speaker 2: And now we're hearing former President Donald Trump way in
Speaker 2: as well the CNN town hall last night saying Republicans
Speaker 2: should go for default if they don't get deep spending cuts.
Speaker 2: What does that add to this.
Speaker 17: Julie, Yeah, Well, unfortunately, I think it does give a
Speaker 17: bit more cover to representatives in the House who want
Speaker 17: to just double down on this. It makes it a
Speaker 17: bit harder, I think for McCarthy to, even if he
Speaker 17: was able to negotiate some kind of agreement with Biden,
Speaker 17: which is very very far down the road, the idea
Speaker 17: that he could get everyone in his caucus on board.
Speaker 17: With Trump saying things like this, it just makes it
Speaker 17: that much harder. So I do think it muddies things
Speaker 17: even further when Trump is weighing in, and you know,
Speaker 17: it rallies base members who may not have been following
Speaker 17: this issue before. But when Trump starts saying things, people
Speaker 17: often pay attention and start pressuring that way.
Speaker 2: Does it get the attention of the people that we're
Speaker 2: told are negotiating behind the scenes at the staff level
Speaker 2: to try to come to some kind of middle ground.
Speaker 17: To a point, honestly, I think those who are at
Speaker 17: the staff level actually do want to get some kind
Speaker 17: of deal through. They are very aware of what the
Speaker 17: stakes are, and I do think the four congressional leaders
Speaker 17: and Biden who are meeting are all very well aware,
Speaker 17: but they're all very well aware of the politics around them. Also,
Speaker 17: I think Biden has learned and perhaps overlearned the lessons
Speaker 17: from the twenty eleven negotiations and is a bit wary
Speaker 17: of negotiating with House seeker who just doesn't think has
Speaker 17: the leverage to push through any kind of negotiated settlement.
Speaker 17: They don't want to eat big spending cuts like the
Speaker 17: Obama administration did. But at the same time, I think
Speaker 17: Biden has also taking political hit by looking like he's
Speaker 17: not negotiating good faith or being willing to have even
Speaker 17: a bipartisan conversation.
Speaker 2: And this all sets u us up for the second
Speaker 2: round of talks coming up tomorrow. Do you think there's
Speaker 2: going to be any further progress to come out of
Speaker 2: the latest discussions? So you got about a minute left here.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I wish I could say yes, My sense of
Speaker 17: this is still going to be a little bit more
Speaker 17: drawn out than that. I think the most we can
Speaker 17: hope for is some kind of mini agreements with that
Speaker 17: would allow for an extension for more extended negotiations to
Speaker 17: go on. What I think we see Biden and Democrats
Speaker 17: doing now is trying to see if they can get
Speaker 17: some modern Republicans in the House would maybe vote along
Speaker 17: with a Democrat bill that would be more of a
Speaker 17: clean lift, and they seem to still want to see
Speaker 17: where they can get there before they make too many concessions.
Speaker 17: So again important is always that they're meeting the sense
Speaker 17: of a breakthrough. I don't see it happening tomorrow, but
Speaker 17: we'll see what they say.
