Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news.
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.
Speaker 3: Karen, we begin in Arizona this morning. The latest in
Speaker 3: the search for Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy. Authorities have apparently
Speaker 3: released a man who was detained in connection with her disappearance.
Speaker 3: The man, who only wanted to be identified as Carlos,
Speaker 3: said he was detained after a traffic stop. He spoke
Speaker 3: with reporters outside his home in Rio Rico, Arizona.
Speaker 4: I want to try to clear my name. I didn't
Speaker 4: do anything.
Speaker 5: I hope to get the suspect because I'm not it.
Speaker 4: Hey better do their job and find the suspect that
Speaker 4: they did it so they can clear my name. I'm done.
Speaker 3: Carlos ad it. He doesn't know Nancy Guthrie is or
Speaker 3: why law enforcement thought he might be connected to her kidnapping.
Speaker 3: The case has attracted international attention. It took a dramatic
Speaker 3: turn when the FBI released folks and video images of
Speaker 3: a possible suspect outside Guthrie's home near Tucson. A video
Speaker 3: posted on Next Show to Max individual wearing gloves approaching
Speaker 3: a front door with what appeared to be a handgun
Speaker 3: and a holster carrying a large backpath. Nancy Guthrie is
Speaker 3: the mother of Today's show anchor Savannah Guthrie. She was
Speaker 3: reported missing February first. Authorities think she was taken against
Speaker 3: her will, with the suspect disconnecting the camera doorbell.
Speaker 2: Well, we do have some tragic news out of Canada
Speaker 2: over night, Nathan. At least ten people are dead, twenty
Speaker 2: five others injured. This is after a mass shooting in
Speaker 2: a remote town in western Canada. Eight people died after
Speaker 2: shots were fired at a school in tumblr Ridge, British Columbia,
Speaker 2: including a woman whom police believed to be the shooter.
Speaker 2: Authorities say two more people were found dead at a
Speaker 2: nearby home. British Columbia Premier David eb told reporters that
Speaker 2: police officers reached this school within two minutes, and he
Speaker 2: spoke at a news conference after the shooting.
Speaker 6: It's hard to know what to say on a night
Speaker 6: like tonight. This is the kind of thing that feels
Speaker 6: like it happens in other places and not close to
Speaker 6: home in a way that this feels for so many
Speaker 6: British Columbians and Canadians.
Speaker 2: British Columbia Premier David eb noted that authorities are not
Speaker 2: yet releasing the identity of the suspected attacker. In a
Speaker 2: statement on social media, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Karney said
Speaker 2: that he was devastated by the mess shooting, which is
Speaker 2: Canada's deadliest since twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Said to Washington Now Karen, where lawmakers are about to
Speaker 3: go on the record on President Donald Trump's signature economic policy.
Speaker 3: The House is set to vote today on whether to
Speaker 3: reject some of the president's tariff policies, starting with a
Speaker 3: resolution to repeal his duties on Canadian goods. House Speaker
Speaker 3: Mike Johnson has been using legislative procedures to delay these votes,
Speaker 3: but three Republicans joined with Democrats in blocking his latest attempt.
Speaker 3: Republican Congressman Marlon Stutsman of Indiana says the president should
Speaker 3: have the authority to impose emergency tariffs.
Speaker 7: I think we've seen a new sort of using the
Speaker 7: tariff tool differently than what oftentimes we think of with
Speaker 7: Terry garoffs. If you're using tariffs to negotiate with other countries,
Speaker 7: that's good. I mean, if we're going to just put
Speaker 7: tariffs in place for you in perpetuity. I think that's
Speaker 7: a whole different conversation.
Speaker 3: Indiana Republican Marlin Stutzman appeared on Bloomberg's Balance of Power.
Speaker 3: The three Republicans who pushed for today's vote are Kentucky's
Speaker 3: Thomas Massey, Kevin Kylie, who's facing a tough reelection in California,
Speaker 3: and retiring Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon Well Nathan Let's.
Speaker 2: Stay in the nation's capital. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin at Yah,
Speaker 2: who says he will discuss Iran, Gaza and other regional
Speaker 2: issues with President Trump during his visit to the White
Speaker 2: House today. Bloomberg's Amy Morris has more from Washington.
Speaker 8: The US has already demanded Iran give up its ballistic
Speaker 8: missile program, stop supporting military groups, and end a crackdown
Speaker 8: on protesters, but Iran wants to limit the talks to
Speaker 8: its nuclear program. Natanyah, who is likely to push President
Speaker 8: Trump to demand more concessions from Iran in their White
Speaker 8: House meeting and before he left Israel. Natayah, who told
Speaker 8: reporters that indirect US diplomacy with Iran Topps' agenda saying
Speaker 8: that he intends to present President Trump with Israel's view
Speaker 8: regarding the principles of the negotiation in Washington. Amy Moore
Speaker 8: as Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 3: Amy, thanks now the latest on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Speaker 3: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnix come under fire for his appearance
Speaker 3: in the Epstein files. Lutnick says he did visit the
Speaker 3: convicted sex offenders private island in twenty twelve. Here's an
Speaker 3: exchange between Lutnik and Maryland Senator Chris van Holland.
Speaker 1: Did you, in fact make the visit to Jeffrey Epstein's
Speaker 1: private island.
Speaker 9: I did have lunch with him as I was on

Speaker 9: was with me, as were my four children and nanny's
Speaker 9: I had another couple with They were there as well
Speaker 9: with their children, and we had lunch on the island.
Speaker 3: Commerce Secretary Howard Ludnik is facing calls to resign over
Speaker 3: his relationship with Epstein. The files show their ties were
Speaker 3: more extensive than previously revealed the White House, as President
Speaker 3: Trump has no plans to remove Lutnik.

Speaker 2: with at least two women through Jeffrey Epstein. Femails released

Speaker 2: would be able to visit Epstein's island. In a statement,
Speaker 2: Kimball Musk said his only meeting with Epstein was in
Speaker 2: his New York office during the day.

Speaker 3: today's delayed January jobs report for clues on whether the
Speaker 3: Federal Reserve will speed up interest rate cuts. Let's get
Speaker 3: a preview now from Bloomberg's John Tucker, John and Neate.
Speaker 10: Several government officials, including the National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett,
Speaker 10: have warned that the investors should expect lower jobs numbers
Speaker 10: going forward. Today's report delayed because of the partial government shutdown.
Speaker 10: That's going to include an annual revision. Now, these changes
Speaker 10: may make the January payrolls appear very weak. Kathy Jones
Speaker 10: at Charles, what meantimes he's a drag on the broader economy.
Speaker 5: I think what we're saying is the slowdown in hiring
Speaker 5: the tightness in the job market now is probably leaked
Speaker 5: through to people's confidence in terms of spending and activity.
Speaker 10: The economy is surveyed by Bloomberg expect only sixty five
Speaker 10: thousand jobs created last month, with the unemployment rate holding
Speaker 10: steady at four point four percent now, while a lower

Speaker 3: And Ford expects its profit to jump this year. Karen,
Speaker 3: you've after a surprise nine hundred million dollar tariff bill

Speaker 3: Trump administration and formed Ford in December, the company could
Speaker 3: only apply a measure to trim tariff's paid on imported
Speaker 3: auto parts dating back to November rather than May. That
Speaker 3: change effectively doubled Ford's tariff toll to two billion dollars

Speaker 2: Stay with us. More from Bloomberg day Break coming up
Speaker 2: after this.

Speaker 8: This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager with the search for Savannah
Speaker 3: Guthrie's mother, Nancy now into an eleventh day. Overnight, authorities
Speaker 3: in Arizona detained a person for questioning hours after the
Speaker 3: FBI released surveillance video and photos from Nancy Guthrie's front porch.
Speaker 3: Searches caught the world's attention, including the White House, where
Speaker 3: Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says President Trump is following the
Speaker 3: latest developments.
Speaker 13: And I were both reviewing the newly released surveillance footage
Speaker 13: from FBI and the Savannah Guthrie case on just this
Speaker 13: heartbreaking situation with respect to her mother.
Speaker 3: Press Secretary Caroline Levit at the White House from where
Speaker 3: we're joined by Bloomberg's Laura Davison. So, Laura, get us
Speaker 3: caught up on the latest on this investment stigation. What
Speaker 3: do we know about this apparent person of interest? Good morning, Yeah,
Speaker 3: So they have not released a lot of details. We
Speaker 3: do know that there is one person of interest who
Speaker 3: they apprehended and then released. It's possible there's also a
Speaker 3: second person that they also have apprehended. No details on
Speaker 3: exactly how this person is connected to the case or
Speaker 3: the identity of this person. This really kind of goes
Speaker 3: to show just how difficult it has been to define
Speaker 3: suspects in this case. There was a slight breakthrough when
Speaker 3: the FBI released a video from a nest camera on
Speaker 3: Nancy Guthrie's door that showed a mask individual with a
Speaker 3: backpack trying to dismantle the camera there. But it's unclear,
Speaker 3: you know, exactly how close they are to to actually
Speaker 3: finding the perpetrator behind this incident. And of course we've
Speaker 3: seen all the videos, the pleas for help from the public,
Speaker 3: from Nance, from Savannah Guthrie and her brother and sister,
Speaker 3: as well parent communications with purported kidnappers as well. It
Speaker 3: is led a lot of speculation about what's going on
Speaker 3: in this investigation.
Speaker 14: Laura, Yes, this is you know, an investigation that you know,
Speaker 14: really from the beginning they suggested there would be some
Speaker 14: sort of foul play here, that Nancy three was taken
Speaker 14: from her house against her will. This, however, is a
Speaker 14: real blow to the FBI. Cash Battel has had several
Speaker 14: situations where they've been slow to catch a killer or
Speaker 14: were apprehended someone who ended up being not the right person.
Speaker 14: This was also the case in the Charlie Cook shooting
Speaker 14: back last year. So this is, you know, something that
Speaker 14: is continuing to dog the agency and it's called into
Speaker 14: question Cash Bertel's leadership of the agency.
Speaker 3: I know you're also following the tragedy overnight in Western Canada.
Speaker 3: What's the latest on this deadly mass school shooting.
Speaker 14: Yes, this is one of the worst mass shootings in
Speaker 14: Canada's history. Ten dead, twenty five others injured in this
Speaker 14: remote town in British Columbia. This is a town of
Speaker 14: just about twenty five hundred people, so the scope of
Speaker 14: the shooting is a huge effect on this community. Mark
Speaker 14: Carney has already said that he will call off his
Speaker 14: trip to the Munich Security Conference in the next couple
Speaker 14: of days to stay at home focus on the national tragedy.
