1 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm Brian Curtis and I'm Doug Prisner. Here 2 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: are the stories we're following today. 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 2: The House of Representatives has passed the continuing Resolution to 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 2: fund the government that will get us past that Friday deadline. 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 3: At Baxter with the story in the nine to sixty 6 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 3: newsroom ed. 7 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly right, Brian. Now this this does kick the 8 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 4: issues presumably to January and February, regarding funding as a 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 4: whole and individually. Today's vote took a bipartisan support to 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 4: get it, with Democrats crossing party lines the vote three 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 4: hundred and thirty six two ninety five to pass it. 12 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 4: Now Speaker Mike Johnson said it had to happen this way. 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: When you have a small majority, it requires some things 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: are going to have to be bipartisan. 15 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 4: But I think these are issues that every member of 16 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 4: Congression agree on. 17 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 3: We are on an unsustainable track with our debt. 18 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 4: So this could be a landmark day or it could 19 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 4: be just a blip on a screen of animosity. It's 20 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 4: you know that they've worked together, bipartisan moving forward. Bloomberg 21 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 4: Gregory Corte says it looks as if it will sail 22 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 4: through the Senate and then the President will sign it. 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 5: President Biden did not come out with a veto threat 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 5: of this House Republican plan. It sent the signal pretty 25 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 5: clearly to Democrats in the House but also in the 26 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 5: Senate that this is something the White House can live with. 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 5: It does not deliver on the key priorities of President 28 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 5: Biden to fund Ukraine, to fund Israel, and he threw 29 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 5: in funding security at the southern border as a deal sweetener. 30 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's not done yet, but it looks like 31 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 4: the Senate will go along because Chuck Schumer, the Senate 32 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 4: majority leader, did say earlier today that he was very 33 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 4: pleased and the President, as Gregory said, said he will 34 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 4: not veto it. So it will get done. Hopefully it 35 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 4: can get done before Friday. The government is due to 36 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 4: run out of funding at midnight on Friday. Israel facing 37 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 4: mounting global pressure regarding attacks on Gaza hospitals. This is 38 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 4: forces continue to surround Al Shaefa hospital. Bloomberg's Oliver Cook 39 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 4: says the fighting rages on. 40 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 6: The Defense Minister of Israel says that Hamas has lost 41 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 6: control of Gaza at this stage. But really, as you say, 42 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 6: the focus is on these hospitals and really beginning to 43 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 6: test the limits of where the limit of self defense is, 44 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 6: which has been really a question I think for everybody 45 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 6: since the beginning of this conflict, and everyone has a 46 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 6: different answer to that. But we're starting to see that 47 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 6: progress a little bit, particularly with the United States, was, 48 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 6: as we know, is a key ally for Israel in 49 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 6: this battle. 50 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 4: But he says a tone of the criticisms of the 51 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 4: hospital attacks has changed. 52 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 6: The question is where does it reach its limit? Again, 53 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 6: So a lot of this stuff is going to be 54 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 6: behind the closed doors, the discussions with Biden and Netanya 55 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 6: who not taken out into the public, but you're starting 56 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 6: to notice it in a lot of the public statements 57 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 6: we're hearing from US officials. 58 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 4: Meanwhile, the US Pentagon says it has intelligence regarding Al Shifa, 59 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 4: spoke to when Sabrina. 60 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 7: Saying Hamas and PIJ members operate a command and control 61 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 7: node from Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. They have 62 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 7: weapons stored there and are prepared to respond to an 63 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 7: Israeli military operation against the facility. 64 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 4: An Singh also says the US is efforting to try 65 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 4: to stop the spread of the war as well. 66 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 7: There have been twenty seven attacks against US forces in 67 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 7: I Rock and twenty eight attacks in Syria. 68 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 4: And says the US will defend itself global news twenty 69 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 4: four hours a day and whenever you want it with 70 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 4: Bloomberg News now in San Francisco. I'm Ed Baxter in 71 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 4: this is Bloomberg. 72 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: US inflation broadly slowed in October, and traders are now 73 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: betting that the Fed's aggressive rate hiking cycle is over. However, 74 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: a Citadel founder Ken Griffin says that cutting interest rates 75 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: too quickly would be risky for the FED. 76 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 8: The key from my perspective is the FED needs to 77 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 8: stay on message that they're going to put the inflation 78 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 8: genie back in the bottle, and so if they if 79 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 8: they cut too soon, I think they risk losing credibility 80 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 8: around their commitment to a two percent inflation target. 81 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: That Citadel founder Ken Griffin. 82 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: If you look at the work function on the Bloomberg terminal, 83 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 2: you'll see that there is zero expectation for a hike 84 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: in December or at any meeting next year. Meantime, some 85 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: FED officials are not convinced that the fight against inflation 86 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: is over. Chicago Fed President Austin Goolsby and is Richmond 87 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 2: counterpart Thomas Bark and welcome the CPI report, calling it progress, 88 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: but both predicted a bumpy road in getting prices down 89 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 2: even more. 90 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: China's President shi Jinping has arrived at the San Francisco 91 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: International Airport. He was greeted there by US Treasury Secretary 92 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: Janet Yellen and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Now tomorrow, Presidents 93 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: Biden and she will be meeting for the first time 94 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: in a year. This, of course, will be happening on 95 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: the sidelines of the APEC Summit. Today, President Biden said 96 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: he's hoping for constructive talks. We're not trying to decouple 97 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: from China, but we're What we're trying to do is 98 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: change the relationship for the better. President b there he 99 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: did say that President Chijinping needs to ease the criteria 100 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: for American companies investing in China and not requiring those 101 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: companies to turn over trade secrets. Biden also said the 102 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: US is interested in helping China's struggling economy, but not 103 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: at the expense of American intellectual property ran in. 104 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 2: Some of the biggest names doug in American business are 105 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 2: attending the APEX Summit, and they'll have an audience with 106 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 2: Chinese President She and with other Asian leaders. The CEOs 107 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: include City Group's Jane Fraser, Exxon's Darren Woods, Microsoft, Satya Nodela, 108 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 2: and Tesla's Elon Musk. We get more on the story 109 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: from Bloomberg's and Kates. 110 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 9: A CEO summit on the sidelines of the APEC meeting 111 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 9: will coincide with the most challenging trade climate in a generation. 112 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 9: From tech to logistics to oil and finance, companies are 113 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 9: struggling to maintain access to Chinese customers even as they 114 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 9: try to navigate a growing list of regulations, tarifs, and 115 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 9: export controls. Some of the executives have been invited to 116 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 9: dine with She, a chance for them to air their 117 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 9: concerns and ambitions in a less formal setting. In Washington 118 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 9: and Kates Bloomberg. 119 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: Radio, China is said to be planning a form of 120 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: helicopter money remember that term, as a way of helping 121 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: China's ailing housing market. The story from Bloomberg's ivon Men 122 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: in Hong Kong. 123 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 10: Sources say China is looking to provide one hundred and 124 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 10: thirty seven billion dollars of financing for urban village renewal. 125 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 10: The funds would be injected in phases through policy banks. 126 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 10: Officials are said to be considering using a controversial program 127 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 10: called Pledge Supplemental Lending or PSL. The PSL has been 128 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 10: dubbed by some as helicopter money, and allows a central 129 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 10: bank to provide low cost funds to developers of shantytown 130 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 10: renovation projects. It was deployed in twenty fourteen to reverse 131 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 10: a property downturn, but was later criticized for inflating a bubble. 132 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 10: In any case, the move is another push to put 133 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 10: a floor under the biggest property downturn in decades in 134 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 10: Hong Kong. I'm von Mann Bloomberg Radio. 135 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: Meantime, Bloomberg Economics says that China's activity data for October 136 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: will probably show the recovery needs more support. Bloomberg's Joan 137 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 2: Wong has the story. 138 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 11: Our economists predicted the data will reinforce earlier signals that 139 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 11: the economy is struggling to rebound. Output and fixed asset 140 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 11: investment growth probably slowed. A likely pick up in retail 141 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 11: sales had more to do with a low base of 142 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 11: comparison than stronger consumption on industrial production. Bloomberg Economics estimates 143 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 11: that grows a three point nine percent year on year. 144 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 11: That'd be down from a four and a half percent 145 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 11: rise in September in Taipei. I'm Joan Wong Bloomberg Radio. 146 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 2: Bloomberg Economics expects a rate cut by the PBOC to 147 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: two point four percent. That data or that decision coming 148 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: up a little bit later today. The market consensus, though, 149 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 2: is for another hold by the PBOC. Let's get to 150 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: our guest. Now we would welcome to the airwaves Jody Schneider, 151 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: political news director for Bloomberg Television and Radio, to discuss 152 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: the risk for it US government shut down. I'm Brian Curtis, 153 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: along with Paul Allen. Jody, thanks so much for joining us. Well, 154 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: big news that leading Democrats came out here in support 155 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: of the Speaker's proposal. Before we get to the possible 156 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: blowback from Republicans which may be coming, let's look at 157 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: why the Dems supported it. The vote was three thirty 158 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: six to ninety five. 159 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 12: Yeah, we had a great number of Democrats supporting it, Brian, 160 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 12: and some a fair number of Republicans voting against it, 161 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 12: but partly because they could they had cover in essence, 162 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 12: and the House Democrats basically bailed out the newly elected Speaker, 163 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 12: Mike Johnson. They basically decided to go along with this 164 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 12: legislation because it didn't contain big spending cuts that they 165 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 12: couldn't you couldn't accept, and also it was not really 166 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 12: time to anything. There were what they called poison pills 167 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 12: in it. And it's going to be an election year 168 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 12: and Democrats think they might be able to take back 169 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 12: the House after all the speakership ruck us or earlier 170 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 12: this year. And also they're really hoping that they can 171 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 12: show that they are kind of the governing party. So 172 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 12: I think that was their thinking and this, and let's 173 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 12: not discount the fact that they all want to get 174 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 12: home for Thanksgiving. They they didn't want to be dragged 175 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 12: into a shutdown, which frankly tends to with voters benefit 176 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 12: neither party. It still has to go to the Senate 177 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 12: and the next few days it may look at times 178 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 12: like it's not going to do so well in the 179 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 12: Senate because it gets very procedural over there. They may 180 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,599 Speaker 12: be able to get this on the floor in a 181 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 12: day or so, or it may be a few days 182 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,359 Speaker 12: and right up to the deadline. But the Senate Democrats 183 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 12: sound like they're going to go the same way as 184 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 12: their their brethren in the House and pass this fairly readily. 185 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 13: Yeah, and in terms of the exhaustion factor, I am 186 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 13: put in the mind of a famous saying in politics 187 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 13: here in Australia, always back the horse named self interest. 188 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 13: But are setting ourselves up pier for Groundhog Day early 189 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 13: in twenty twenty four, literally on Groundhog Day? 190 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 12: Yeah, well, part of the bill. See, it's this dual 191 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 12: kind of deadlines here. That bill funds some parts of 192 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 12: the government through January nineteenth and others through February second, 193 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 12: Groundhog Day, as you say, setting up the possibility of 194 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 12: another shutdown. And you know we've been through this a 195 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 12: lot this year, right, I keep running right up to 196 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 12: the deadline. But it's possible. Although that is an election 197 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 12: year and you know, people will be looking very closely 198 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 12: at what they think their constituents and their districts are 199 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 12: going to think of a shutdown. So this takes us 200 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 12: somewhat toward there. The real question, another real question for 201 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 12: Democrats is how do they get their Ukraine and Israel 202 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 12: emergency funding which is not in this legislation. 203 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was my next question. 204 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 2: What is the process for that because not only Ukraine, 205 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: but no funding for Israel law, so that does complicate things. 206 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 3: How does proceed then? 207 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 12: Yeah, so the Republicans want to tie money for Ukraine 208 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 12: to Republican demands on border security. Those would be tough 209 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 12: to negotiate between the parties. They include things like reducing 210 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 12: the right of migrants to seek asylum in the US. 211 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 12: So that's a real question. That's what the Republicans want. 212 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 12: The Democrats, I would presume, got something for their votes here. 213 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 12: I don't think they'd be going along with this, and 214 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 12: I don't think the White House which decided not to 215 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 12: issue a veto threat. They said they didn't like the bill, 216 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 12: but they didn't you issue a veto threat, and they 217 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 12: had the opportunity to do so. I presume there were 218 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 12: some negotiations that would allow some of this funding to 219 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 12: move forward before the end of the year. 220 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 13: Well, let's get back to that breakdown of the vote, 221 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 13: three thirty six to ninety five. And if you look 222 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 13: at the headline, it all seems super duper, but a 223 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 13: lot of GOP members voting against their own. 224 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 3: Speaker. 225 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 13: Chip Roy of Texas called this asinine, Warren Davidson saying 226 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 13: it's too early to take Johnson down. And I mean, 227 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 13: what's the future for Mike Johnson here? Is he in 228 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 13: a honeymoon period of is his job safe? 229 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 12: Yeah, that's the real question here, because of course, relying 230 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 12: on Democratic votes is part of what lost or a 231 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 12: good part of what lost Kevin McCarthy his speakership when 232 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 12: he did that with the earlier with you know, the 233 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 12: earlier vote on the to fund the government. One would 234 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 12: think that I think there's a couple of things happening here. 235 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 12: One is that it is this kind of they had 236 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 12: that you know, really you know, a very very you know, 237 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 12: visual very messy vote to get a speaker, and nobody 238 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 12: wants to go through that again. And so I think 239 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 12: they realize that they've picked their their their person, and 240 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 12: they're going to stick by him, at least for a while. 241 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 12: The other thing that's happening here is they you know, 242 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 12: they all have to run next year as well, and 243 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 12: they being the party of you know, raucous debates and 244 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 12: not being able to do anything because you don't have 245 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 12: a speaker. I don't think they want that. There were 246 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 12: a lot of votes against this, but again they could 247 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 12: do that because they got the Democrats to vote for it, 248 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 12: and so I think it's you know, there was more 249 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 12: support for it than it may appear, but by being 250 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 12: able to vote against it, they were saying, well, we 251 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 12: you know, we want things like spending cuts, we want 252 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 12: border controls. So I don't think he's in a lot 253 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 12: of danger here. You know, he was kind of doing 254 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 12: what was needed to get done. But of course there's 255 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 12: some in the flank, those hardliners, that could make his 256 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 12: life very difficult. 257 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 2: So what happens then to those requests for the spending 258 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 2: cuts and for action on immigration law. Does that find 259 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: its way back separate or how does that work? 260 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think that's a that's a good question. Some 261 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 12: of that may be another legislation. You often want to 262 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 12: tie it to spending bills because those have to go right. 263 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 12: We call them writers or hitchhikers. So we may see 264 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 12: that on those bills in January and February, which of 265 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 12: course would complicate their passage because that's what the Democrats 266 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 12: say they won't go for. 267 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Asia, your morning brief on the 268 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 2: stories making news from Hong Kong to Singapore and Wall Street. 269 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: Look for us on your podcast feed every day on Apple, Spotify, 270 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: and anywhere else you get your podcasts. 271 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each day on Bloomberg eleven 272 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to 273 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 2: one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh six y one in Boston, 274 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: and Bloomberg nine sixty in San Francisco. 275 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 276 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: Amazon Alexa devices.
