1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: ad Kleggy. President Joe Biden faces a fresh round of

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: hazards from members of his own party as he seeks

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: to salvage his embattled reelection bid and fend off calls

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: from Democratic lawmakers to step aside. Biden remains defiant that

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: he will continue his White House run against Donald Trump,

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: despite a firestorm of concerns over his age and mental

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: acuity sparked by his debate performance more than a week ago.

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: But frank discussions scheduled in the coming days among House

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: and Senate Democrats could pose new risks to the president's

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: political future. House and Senate lawmakers return to the Capitol Monday,

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: the first time they'll be together in person since the

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: June twenty seventh debate. That could trigger a new wave

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: of calls from lawmakers urging Biden to step aside or

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: reevaluate his candidacy. Five House Democrats have already called on

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: Biden to end his campaign. President Biden is gaining more

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: support in swing states in spite of his debate debacle

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: a week ago. Thursday, Bloomberg's Gregory Courty calls the results

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: of this Bloomberg News Morning Console tracking poll counterintuitive, but the.

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: Prevailing political narrative for the past week or so has

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: been that President Joe Biden had an abysmal debate and

22
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: that it was costume in the polls. And there were

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: a number of very good national polls that confirmed that narrative.

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,279
Speaker 2: But this is the first poll specifically of swing states.

25
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: This is the Bloomberg News Morning Console poll of seven

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: battleground states Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: that are most likely to decide the election. And what

28
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: we found in those states is that Joe Biden is

29
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: actually gaining ground. He's now down by just two points

30
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: across those seven states, and it's actually his best poll

31
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: in the battleground state pole since we've been doing it

32
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: beginning last October.

33
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Gregory Courty also says the poll could turn out

34
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: to be a statistical outlier. Texas Official Saturday, we're urging

35
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: coastal residents to brace for a potential hit by Beryl,

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: as the storm is expected to regain hurricane strength in

37
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Jack Bevinta

38
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: senior hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center in Miami

39
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: said they are expecting the storm to make landfall somewhere

40
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: on the Texas coast sometime Monday. If the current forecast

41
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: is correct. Should that happen, it'll most likely be a

42
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: Category one hurricane. Canada is making it harder for foreign

43
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: firms to acquire its biggest mining companies. We get more

44
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: from Bloomberg's than Ease Pellegrini.

45
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: The Canadian government now says it will only approve foreign

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 3: takeovers of large Canadian mining companies involved in critical minerals

47
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: production in the most exceptional of circumstances. That's according to

48
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: new guidelines from the Industry Minister, and the directive is

49
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: part of a sweeping effort by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's

50
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: government to protect Canada's critical mineral sector and national security interests.

51
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: Just as the US and allies circle their wagons against China.

52
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: And this is all happening is the world's biggest mining

53
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: firms hunt for metals needed for the transition away from

54
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: fossil fuels. But this move potentially takes some attractive global

55
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: takeover targets off the table. Tech resources spent much of

56
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: last year, fending off Glencore's twenty three billion dollar takeover attempt,

57
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: before the Swiss company opted to just buy Tech's steel

58
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: making coal business instead. Denise Pelgrinny Blomberg Radio.

59
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: Voters in California this November, we'll get a chance to

60
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: decide if the state should borrow another twenty billion dollars

61
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: from Wall Street. We get that story from Bloomberg's Charlie Pelley.

62
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 4: Lawmakers have approved placing two bond measures on the November

63
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 4: fifth ballot, one asking for ten billion dollars for school

64
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: construction and another ten billion to finance climate change infrastructure.

65
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 4: They will join eight other ballot measures on topics such

66
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 4: as same sex marriage control and crime in New York.

00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 4: Charlie Pellett Bloomberg.

68
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: Radio, and that's news when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now,
