19
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: Karin Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We're

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: learning more about yesterday's air traffic meltdown and how a

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: computer failure caused a cascading series of problems. Amy Morris

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: has the latest from our Bloomberg newsroom in Washington. Federal

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: officials say this was not a cyber attack. It was

24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: a corrupted file caused by an engineer who replaced one

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: file with another by mistake. Transportation Secretary Pete Buddha Jedge

26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: tells CBS that the investigation is ongoing. We will not

27
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: allow anything to take place that is not safe. But

28
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: this is precisely why our focus right now is on understanding, identifying,

29
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: and correcting anything related to the root cause of how

30
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: this happened at the first place. Now, sources tell Bloomberg

31
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: the problem which impacted the notice to air missions are

32
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: no TAMP system also caused a failure in a related

33
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: backup system, resulting in thousands of delayed and canceled flights

34
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: in Washington. I'm Amy Morris, Bloomberg Daybreak. All right, Amy,

35
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: thank you. Now, another major story we're following out of

36
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: Washington This morning, President Joe Biden's aides have found another

37
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: set of classified documents. This time they were found in

38
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: a separate location from the first, and Bloomberg said Baxter

39
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: has that story. Aids have been scouring offices of Mr

40
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: Biden used after his vice presidency, according to multiple media reports,

41
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: this after the finding of classified documents in Pennsylvania. It's

42
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: not clear when these were found and whether they've been

43
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: returned to the National Archives, as the first ones were

44
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: White House spokes when Karine Jean Pierre says the White

45
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: House will do the proper thing. We're committed to doing

46
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: the right thing. Uh, doing the doing this in the

47
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: right way, and says these fines are not akin to

48
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: Donald Trump taking classified files tomorrow. Lago House Speaker Kevin

49
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: McCarthy has accused the Department of Justice of giving President

50
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: Biden preferential treatment in San Francisco. I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Daybreak,

51
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: Thank you. Turning to markets now, stocks are coming off

52
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: two straight days of gains and there is optimism that

53
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: softening inflation will lead the Fed to change gears on

54
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: rate hikes. Yr Denny Research President Edyard Denny thinks the

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: worst of the market sell off is now behind us.

56
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: I think we made a low on October twelfth in

57
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: the market. I think that was the end of the

58
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: bear market, and I think we're back in a bull market.

59
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: Not straight up, a lot of volatility, but I think

60
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: the markets are telling us that the world economy is improving.

61
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: Ed Yar Denny made those comments on Bloomberg Surveillance. You

62
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: can catch the show weekdays at seven am All Street

63
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: time on Bloomberg Radio and subscribe to Surveillance anywhere you

64
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. Of course, nathany immediate direction of markets

65
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: will be greatly impacted by this morning's inflation report, and

66
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: we get a preview from Bloomberg Economics correspondent Michael McKee.

67
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: Old data may help the Fed make a new decision

68
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: next month. Economists think December may have seen the first

69
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: decline in the consumer Price Index since May. While the

70
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: drop would be largely a result of falling energy prices,

71
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: it signal progress in the feds fight against inflation. And

72
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: while core prices are forecast to have ticked up a

73
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: bit last month, both corps and headline CPI should drop

74
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: significantly compared with last year. That likely would lead Fed

75
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: officials to dial back their next rate increase to just

76
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: a quarter percentage point on February one. Michael McKee, Bloomberg Daybreak,

77
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: All right, Mike, thanks. We also got inflation numbers out

78
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: of Asia overnight. China's factory gate deflation narrowed in December,

79
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: even as COVID infections slowed plant operations. Bloomberg Daybreak Asia

80
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: anchor Brian Curtis has more from Hong Kong. The PPI

81
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: dropped zero point seven percent, the estimate minus zero point

82
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: one percent. Consumer prices ticked up one point eight percent,

83
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: which was in line with estimates. The sudden end to

84
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: COVID zero slowed factory operations as workers called in sick.

85
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: Officials say the reopening gains will gather momentum and both

86
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: consumer and producer prices will warm up, but they say

87
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: overall inflation remains mild in Hong Kong. Priyan Curtis, Bloomberg

88
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: da Break, Right, Brian, thank you. One other note out

89
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: of Asia this morning, China has not updated its daily

90
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: COVID data for three days. That's adding to global concerns

91
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: that Beijing is masking the true impact of the world's

92
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: largest outbreak. The World Health Organization is renewing its call

93
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: for more COVID data from China, and we got a

94
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: couple of corporate story step take you this morning on

95
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 1: Karen's Starting with Subway, there's where the sandwich chain maybe

96
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: considering a sale Bloomberg. Jeff Balinger has the story. Subway

97
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: has long been a potential target for private equity firms

98
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: and other companies, and a person familiar with the matter

99
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: tells Bloomberg the scent which chain is exploring a potential deal.

100
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: A sale could value Subway at more than ten billion dollars.

101
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: The process is said to be in the early stages,

102
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: and Subway could still decide against a sale, and emailed

103
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: statement from Subway notes it is a privately held company

104
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: and it does not comment on its business plans. Jeff Bellinger,

00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: Bloomberg day Break Right, Jeff, thank you. Bloomberg News has

106
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: also learned that T Mobile may buy a budget wireless

107
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: carrier back by actor Ryan Reynolds, Mint Mobile. We're told

108
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: T Mobile has been holding talks with mint but no

109
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: final decision has been made. Reynolds owns about one fourth

110
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: of the company, and Disney is preparing for a proxy

111
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,880

00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: over CEO Bob Iger's leadership. At the same time, the

120
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: tonight as the rain and a breeze continue. Time to

121
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: take a look at some of the other stories now

122
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: making news in New York and around the world, with

123
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Michael Bark. Good morning, Michael, Good morning Nathan. There

124
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: are reports of a possible tentative agreement overnight as we

125
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: enter day four of a nurse's strike in New York City.

126
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: As according to ABC seven, the nurses union and administrators

127
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: from the two hospitals effected have been negotiating. Roughly seven

128
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: thousand nurses from Mount Sinai in Manhattan and Montefiore in

129
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: the Bronx went on strike, calling for better patient to

130
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: staff ratios. This nurse said. Montafiora says that the COVID

131
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: nineteen pandemic put stress on an already strained healthcare system.

132
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: We don't have a normal yet in healthcare because we

133
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: are still grappling with the effects of the pandemic, and

134
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: part of that is how much management is demanding of

135
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: nurses that is simply unsafe and not beneficial to the patients.

136
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: We are serving no word yet on any details of

137
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: the tentative pact. Embattled Republican Congressman George Santos of New

138
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: York is facing more calls to step down. Speaker Kevin

139
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: McCarthy declined to call for santos resignation on Capitol Hill,

140
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: and Santos says he won't step down. I will know

141
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: this as Republicans from his Long Island district called for

142
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: him to resign. The head of the party in Nassau County,

143
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: Joseph Cairo Jr. Says Santos ran a campaign of lies, deceit,

144
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: and fabrications. He disgraced the House of Representatives, and in particular,

145
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: his fabrications went too far. Many groups were hurt. Specifically,

146
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: I look at those families that were touched by the

147
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: horrors of the Holocaust and feel for them. The gops

148
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: Joseph Cairo as federal prosecutors are looking into santos his

149
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: financial disclosures after he admitted to lying about many parts

150
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: of his resume ahead of winning his seat. Thousands have

151
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: been evacuated in northern California, which has been hit by

152
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: days of heavy rain and powerful wind, with entire towns

153
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: under water. The death toll is now at least eighteen

154
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: over the past two weeks. Most of California received up

155
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: to six of its normal rainfall. A guitar powerhouse has

156
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: gone Jeff Beck, who pushed the boundaries of blues, jazz,

157

209
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm Nathan Haygar on a morning when the Biden administration

210
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: is facing pressure on policy and political fronts. First, on policy,

211
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: lots of questions for the Federal Aviation Administration this morning,

212
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: after that system meltdown that stranded thousands of flights across

213
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: the country. And on politics, another batch of classified documents

214
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: could give Republicans more fodder to use against the president.

215
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: From more on all this, We're joined by Terry Haynes,

216
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: founder of PANGEA Policy. Terry, it's good to speak with you.

217
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: Let's start with the f a A. What does this

218
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: flight system meltdown mean when it comes to the effectiveness

219
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: of the regulators whose goal it is, whose job it

220
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: is to keep passengers safe in the air. Good morning, Nathan.

221
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: A couple of things on that one. Uh. Uh yeah,

222
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: kudos to them in the for for at least stepping

223
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: up and been doing the right thing when they when

224
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: they saw something go haywire. Uh. That inconvenienced an awful

225
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: lot of people. But uh, but it was the right

226
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: decision to take. Uh. So you know firstly that Secondly,

227
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: I think we're about to find out whether Secretary Buddhas

228
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: is an active or reactive Secretary of Transportation. What you

229
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: got here is uh a situation where the the oversight

230
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: of the department on the f A and the FA

231
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: itself looks much more passive than active. Uh. Bloomberg has

232
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: been doing some excellent reporting on this, by the way,

233
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: and the one of the things that your reporter's note

234
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: is that, uh, the agency has been in the process

235
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: of updating this no TAM system, but the upgrade is

236
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: behind schedule, apparently in in part because of cuts and

237
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: funding to the agency's technology budget. And uh and the

238
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: system that failed was based on older technology. So UH,

239
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: the department, I think is gonna in the Secretary himself,

240
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: since he's been there for two years, is going to

241
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of questions the answer about what the

242
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: department's priorities are and frankly, why they're not uh, why

243
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: they're not paying better attention to make sure that the

244
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: pipes that that link the transportation systems all to get

245
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: other aren't leaking and in fact or state of the art. Well,

246
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: what do you need to see, Terry, in order to

247
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: show that the f A is making progress in keeping

248
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: its systems up to date? Uh, Well, they're gonna have

249
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: to do on a whole lot more. They're gonna have

250
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: to uh, pour a lot more money into technology. And

251
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: that's a decision for the Secretary and for for Congress,

252
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: to the extent the Congress is involved in making the cuts,

253
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: but certainly for the Secretary, who can reprogram some money. Uh.

254
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, if I were them, I'd be

255
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: I'd be interested in doing a task force that made

256
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: it clear substantially and made it clear to the public

257
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: that fixing this and making it making the system overall

258
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: better is the top priority of the agency. Um. And

259
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: it's not clear that it is right now. I want

260
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: to move to this report of another set of classified

261
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: documents reportedly found at another office the President Biden used

262
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: while he was out of office. Is this going to

263
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: be tougher for the President to explain it already is

264
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: you know glass houses. Huh. A lot of a lot

265
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: of people, including uh, including this network who uh you know,

266
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: brought out all the all the outrage that Biden expressed

267
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: about the things that Trump was doing. I'm not meaning to,

268
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: uh to suggest equivalency here. There's two there's strengthly too

269
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: much we don't know. But the behavior so far, I

270
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: think is is troubling. In out of trouble anybody who's

271
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: a supporter of the president's You've got before the even

272
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: the first uh revelation if two to three months lag

273
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: here in uh in talking about it publicly, which is curious. Um,

274
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: and there's no comment at all on on you know

275
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: what or why these problems are existing and UH, and

276
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: it's very strange that you've got a situation, you know,

277
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: over two years or about two years after the president

278
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: became president, that there's still offices around that are that

279
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: have documents and of any kind of I mean, I

280
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: don't understand what they're doing with that. Uh. So you know,

281
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: there's a bigger story here. No nobody knows what it

282
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: is right now. I think Congress will play some role

283
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: in getting to the bottom of that. But UH, and

284
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: I think frankly the press will too. But White House

285
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: is behind the eight ball on this so far. Only

286
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: about thirty seconds left here, Terry. But the Republicans have

287
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: said that they're going to investigate the president on multiple fronts.

288
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: Does this turn into a main focus for them? It'll

289
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: turn into a big a much bigger focus than it

290
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: had before. It is a matter of going back to

291
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: the not meaning to compare this to water Gate, of course,

292
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: but going back to the Watergate days. This is gonna

293
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: be a matter of what the president knew and uh

294
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: and when did he know it? Uh? They're going to

295
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: have a chain of custody, uh, argument and uh and

296
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: and the White House is not going to have any

297
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: good answers as to how this occurred that gonna fan

298
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,320
