1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Good morning.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: stories we're following today.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: We begin with the leadership shakeup at the top of

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: the IVY League. Claudine Gay is stepping down as president

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: of Harvard University weeks after her highly criticized congressional testimony

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: about the school's handling of campus anti semitism, alongside the

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: presidents of MIT and the University of Pennsylvania. Bloomberg's David

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: Weston begins our team coverage.

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: It has been sort of a firestorm for these three

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 3: presidents to deal with exactly how you control and influence

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: discussion on the campus. There were also questions that developed

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: over time about some of the work that President Gay

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 3: had done for her dissertation for her PhD, and allegations

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 3: that she had improperly used sources that she did not identify. Initially,

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: the Corporation of Harvard, which is what they call the

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: Board of Trustees of corporation, said there'd been an investigation

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: and they had totally exonerated her. There was no problem.

19
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: But now she said, she stepped down, and I take

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: her to ward. At this point, and at some point,

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: a leader becomes a distraction.

22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's David Weston reports this is a dramatic about face

23
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: for Harvard. Claudie Gay became the university's first black president

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: just six months ago.

25
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: Well Nathan, one of Gay's harshest critics, says her stepping

26
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: down is long overdue, and Bloomberg's At Baxter has that

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: part of the story.

28
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: Congresswoman Elis Stefanik says Gay in the December hearing never

29
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 4: condemned calls for genocide against Jews as a violation of

30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 4: university policy. This is part of what Gay said at

31
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 4: that December hearing.

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: We embrace a commitment to free expression, even of views

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 2: that are objectionable, offensive, hateful.

34
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: Stefanica is a Harvard alum who said Gay's statements were

35
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 4: morally bankrupt. And Bill Ackman now who's also gone after

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: Gay posted at two sally an apparent reference to the

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 4: president of MIT at Baxter Bloomberg Radio.

38
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: Okay, and thanks. Sticking with politics, another legal battle is

39
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: set in motion involving Donald Trump's ability to return to office.

40
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: S Bloomberg's Amy Morris has the latest.

41
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 5: Trump is not just appealing the decision in Maine to

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 5: remove his name from the primary ballot. He's also suing

43
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 5: the official mains Secretary of State, Senna Bellows, who made

44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 5: that decision. It's another legal argument that will likely be

45
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 5: settled by the US Supreme Court, along with a case

46
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 5: from Colorado where a group of voters is calling for

47
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 5: the justices to quickly step in. They're asking for that

48
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 5: case to be expedited. They'd like a ruling by February eleventh,

49
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 5: and we could learn whether the Supreme Court will it

50
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 5: Dervine in the Colorado case by this Friday. In Washington,

51
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 5: Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio.

52
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 2: All right, Amy, thanks now to the latest developments in

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: the Middle East. A senior Hamas leader has been killed

54
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: by Israel on a explosion in Beirut. Hamas says Israel

55
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: killed Sileai al Rory, deputy headed the group's polit bureau,

56
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: who was known as the mastermind behind its armed wing

57
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: in the West Bank. Began more from a Bloomberg Silary Liebert,

58
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: it's sort of.

59
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 6: A no brainer that if they had a senior Hamas leader,

60
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 6: they could find an attack who wasn't in some underground

61
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 6: hiding place wherever he was, if they would go after him, and.

62
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: Bloomberg Larry Liebert. It says aler Rory would be the

63
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: most senior Hamas leader killed during the war.

64
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: Turning to markets now, Karen wall Street kicked off the

65
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: new year with a thud. Both tech stocks and treasuries

66
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: sold off. The Nasdaq one hundred index fell one point

67
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: seven percent, at benchmark's biggest drop in two months. Rich

68
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: Weiss is chief investment Officer of multi asset Strategies at

69
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: American Century Investments.

70
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 7: If you look from the start of twenty twenty two

71
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 7: through the end of twenty twenty three, cash basically outperformed

72
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 7: most equities, maybe not the Magnificent seven, but most equity portfolios.

73
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 7: So cash has been king, likely to be king at

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 7: least for the first half of this coming year, at least, we.

75
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Believe American Century Investments. Rich Weiss thinks it could be

76
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: a tough earning season for corporate America well.

77
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: One of the biggest losers in yesterday sell off, Nathan

78
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: was Apple I lost more than one hundred seven billion

79
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: dollars in value after Barclay's analysts downgraded the tech giant.

80
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Mark German explains the bearish view of the iPhone

81
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: maker four.

82
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 8: Quarters plus in a row of holiday declines. The earnings

83
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 8: report that's coming at the end of January early February

84
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 8: will indicate that Q one was either in line, maybe

85
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 8: a little bit more a little bit less than the

86
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 8: prior quarter. You have these patent situations which are likely

87
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 8: to crop up in higher frequency now given the success

88
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 8: that Massimo has had over the past few months.

89
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: And Bloomer's Mark German notes that Apple shares rose around

90
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: fifty percent to a record last year.

91
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: Well, on the flip side, shares of JP Morgan closed

92
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: at a record to kick off the new year. The

93
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: bank's rebound from its twenty twenty two low has now

94
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: pushed its market capitalization to about five hundred billion dollars.

95
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: The lender's been a top performer in the banking industry

96
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: following record results last year.

97
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 2: Well Nathan investors will turn their attention for more clues

98
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: on the future of interest to rates. This afternoon, the

99
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: Federal Reserve issues minutes of dece meeting, and Bloomberg's Vinidel Judai.

100
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 9: Reports Bloomberg Economics as the minutes could signal interest rate

101
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 9: cuts aren't imminent, they'll fetcher. Jerome pal did strike a

102
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 9: dubvish tone last month's news conference that officials voted to

103
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 9: hold the benchmark interest rate target steady for the third

104
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 9: time at December's meeting after more than a year of tightening.

105
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 9: Next session, January thirtieth and thirty first. Also on today's

106
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 9: US economic agenda, job openings, as well as ISM factory data.

107
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 9: If Anny Dale, Judeace, Bloomberg Radio.

108
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: Sorry, and Ethan Thanks. It's time out for a look

109
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: at some of the other stories making news around the world,

110
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: and for now we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris.

111
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 5: Amy, good morning, Good morning, Karen. Migrants sent mostly from Texas,

112
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 5: have been showing up at train stops outside New York

113
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 5: City over the weekend, sidestepping a new order limiting how

114
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 5: they arrive. Hundreds of migrants took a detour in New

115
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 5: York and New Jersey to bypass the New York order

116
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 5: limiting the seat the number of arrivals. New York City

117
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 5: and Chicago recently began restricting migrant bus arrivals, and now

118
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 5: the crackdown spreading to the suburbs. Woodstock Mayor Michael Turner

119
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 5: spoke at a city council meeting, we do not.

120
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 10: Have the staff the expertise for the money, and that

121
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 10: may not be the ideal. We may all wish it

122
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 10: was something different, but that's the reality for Chicago.

123
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 5: Suburbs in Hinsdale, Woodstock, Buffalo Grove, and Juliette taking official

124
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 5: action now passing ordinances to find bus companies dropping off

125
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 5: migrants without notice. Meanwhile, four ports of entry at the

126
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 5: southern border will be reopened tomorrow. Those ports were closed

127
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 5: because of a record influx of migrants. Officials said closing

128
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 5: the border crossings was just a last resort to stem

129
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 5: the flow of people crossing the border. Hospitals across the

130
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 5: country now initiating some new policies in response to a

131
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 5: rise in respiratory illness cases, more emergency room visits because

132
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 5: of flu, COVID and RSV, prompting some hospitals to require

133
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 5: prior off authorization for visitors younger than twelve years old.

134
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 5: Duke Health infectious disease specialist doctor Cameron Wolf says, for

135
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 5: the most part, people understands it.

136
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: Ever easy decisions like people want to be able to

137
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: come and visit their love ones in a hospital, but

138
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: I think in general people understand.

139
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 5: The CDC says more than half the country is experiencing

140
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 5: a rise in COVID flu and RSV cases. Hospitals in

141
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 5: at least ten states and Washington, DC have now reinstated

142
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 5: mask mandates. Israel is planning to withdraw several thousand troops

143
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 5: from the Gaza Strip. The IDF announced the move, noting

144
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: the nearly three month war has taken a growing toll

145
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 5: on the Israeli economy. The United Nations says more than

146
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 5: eighty five percent of Gaza's residents have been displaced from

147
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: their homes and the fighting has left more than twenty

148
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 5: thousand people dead. And a messy winter storm is headed

149
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 5: for the East Coast this weekend. Forecasters are expecting measurable

150
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 5: snow from Washington, DC to New York and rain showers

151
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 5: down south. Global news twenty four hours a day and

197
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Washington may have just flexed

198
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: its muscles with the IVY leagues now that Claudine Gay

199
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: is stepping down as president of Harvard University, comes weeks

200
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: after widely criticized testimony about her handling anti Semitism on

201
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: campus alongside the presidents of MIT and Penn, along with

202
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: new questions specifically about Clining Gay's academic record some of

203
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: her past dissertations. Meanwhile, with less than two weeks until

204
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: voting begins in the Republican presidential race, former President Donald

205
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: Trump is fighting to stay on a second state's primary

206
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: ballot after Maine kicked him off over his actions on

207
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: January sixth, twenty twenty one. Lots of political news to

208
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: discuss this morning, and here to do that with us

209
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: is Greg Valier, chief US policy strategist at AGF Investments. Greg,

210
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: good morning. First, I want to get your reaction to

211
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: the sudden departure of Claudine Gay as Harvard University. She

212
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: just became Harvard's first black president in July. Now, apparently

213
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: after this widely panned congressional testimony and the mounting political

214
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: end donor pressure, she's out. I mean, what does that

215
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: say about Washington's influence over higher education.

216
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 13: Well, there is influence, Navan, good morning, But I think

217
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 13: a bigger factor may have been the donor's donations were

218
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 13: way down and applications were way down, and I think

219
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 13: that may have had a bigger impact.

220
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: Well, we did have the impact of a last Stephonica

221
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: Harvard alum with that viral testimony, the questioning that she

222
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: gave asking them pointedly whether calling for the genocide of

223
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: Jews it violates school policy, and sort of wiggling on

224
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: the answers. I mean this says something about a least

225
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: stephonics clout as well, doesn't it.

226
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, two points. First of all, I think she is

227
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 13: going to be a real player. She is already, but

228
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 13: I think she's going to be a pit bull on

229
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 13: these issues and she summoned to watch over the next

230
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 13: few years. Secondly, I think that the university presidents, all

231
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 13: three of them, were just extraordinarily tone deaf. You know,

232
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 13: maybe what they said technically was correct, but it certainly

233
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 13: did not soothe the issue. It just inflamed the issue.

234
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: Not just that we know that the committee that brought

235
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: those university presidents to Capitol Hill is expanding its investigation

236
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: into some of these allegations of plagiarism against now former

237
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: president Claudine Gay. Where do you see this investigation going

238
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: into what's happening on these campuses.

239
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 13: Well, I think that that is going to be fair

240
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 13: game throughout the country, and I think it's not just

241
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 13: these three presidents. I think it's probably a lot of

242
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 13: other university officials that are now going to have to worry.

243
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the constitutional crisis potentially here

244
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: with former President Donald Trump now suing to try to

245
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: stay on Main's primary ballot after the Secretary of State

246
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: made that move. Where do you see this going?

247
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 13: Well, first of all, Nathan, I think it's probably ninety

248
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 13: ninety five percent chance that the Supreme Court will take

249
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 13: the issue. I think they have to beyond that. I

250
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 13: think the odds would favor this court, which has three

251
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 13: Trump appointees of six to three conservatives on the court.

252
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 13: I suspect they would reject the argument that Trump has

253
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 13: to be taken off the ballot. I think the Court

254
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 13: could decide this within the next few weeks, before Super

255
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 13: Tuesday on March five. I think that in the final analysis,

256
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 13: Trump will be on the ballots.

257
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: There is a difference between a secretary of state making

258
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: a move like this and a Supreme Court like what

259
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: happened in Colorado, Does that make any difference for the

260
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: Supreme Court if it does come to that.

261
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 13: It could, and there will be lots of issues debated,

262
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 13: but I think the main one is can you quickly

263
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 13: prove that Trump supported an insurrection? I mean that's a

264
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 13: case that could take years, certainly many many months, and

265
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 13: we don't have that kind of time with an election

266
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 13: coming up. So barring any definitive ruling on the January

267
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,359
Speaker 13: sixth insurrection, I just don't see this going anywhere.

268
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: Well, that being said, why do you think the Supreme

269
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: Court would make a decision quickly if, as you say,

270
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: it would take a substantial amount of time before the

271
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: Supreme Court to determine whether former President Trump did indeed

272
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: commit insurrection?

273
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 13: Well, I think the Court we'll just have a cotton

274
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 13: dried decision saying that that they don't have the jurisdiction

275
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 13: right now to define insurrection or decide whether there was insurrection.

276
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 13: And I think without that finding, again, I just don't

277
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 13: think it's going to go anywhere.

278
