We'll be selling F thirty five. 9 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 2: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmon or NBS for short hopes 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 2: to secure an executive order from President Trump to bolster 11 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia security and potentially pave the way for a 12 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: stronger defense treaty. They're also expected to discuss relations with Israel, 13 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: the future of Gaza, and access to AI chips and 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: nuclear technology. In Washington, Amy Moore as Bloomberg Radio. 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: Now, a sale of those advanced American fighter jets to 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia has the potential to alter the military balance 17 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: in the Middle East, and there is also potential ramifications 18 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: for Israel, already anxious over preserving its military edge over 19 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: its neighbors, something that is enshrined in US law. President 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: Trump says he doesn't rule out anything regarding US troops 21 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: going into Venezuela. Now, a build up of US forces 22 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: in the region is raising the prospect of military action. 23 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: On Sunday, the State Department said it's intending to designate 24 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: a Venezuelan drug cartel as a foreign terrorist organization, and 25 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: it alleges the group is headed by Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro. 26 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: Here is Trump speaking at the White House. 27 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 3: He's done tremendous damage to our country, primarily because of drugs, 28 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 3: but really because we have that problem with other countries too, 29 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 3: but more than any other country. The release of prisoners 30 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: into our country has been a disaster. He's emptied his deals. 31 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 3: Others have done that also. He has not been good 32 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 3: to the United States. So we'll see what happens at 33 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 3: a certain period of time. 34 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: I'll be talking to now. This campaign of lethal attacks 35 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: on alleged drug running boats have killed about eighty people 36 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: over more than two months. Trump added that he would 37 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: be okay with the US carrying out military strikes inside 38 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: Mexico in order to prevent drugs from entering the US. 39 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: Trump also said he would be proud to strike cocaine 40 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: factories in Columbia. A judge in Tennessee has blocked the 41 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: use of National Guard troops in Memphis under a crime 42 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: fighting operation by President Trump. The AP is reporting the 43 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: judge also put the order on hold, and that will 44 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: give the government time to appeal his decision. One that 45 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: sides with democratic state and local officials who did sue. 46 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: Now they contend the governor cannot deploy the Tennessee National 47 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: Guard for civil unrest unless there is a rebellion or 48 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: invasion or a request from a local government. The House 49 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: of Representatives is heading toward a vote on a bill 50 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: to force the Department of Justice to release the case 51 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: files on Jeffrey Epstein. Now, Trump has reversed his position 52 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: on this bill. Last night, in the Post on Truth 53 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: Social Trump said House Republicans should vote to release the files. 54 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: Here is Bloomberg's Laura Davison. 55 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 4: In the House, we expect it to pass in the Senate. 56 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 4: You know, it really depends on, you know, how much 57 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 4: pressure there is on House Republicans. You know, if Trump 58 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 4: has said that House Republicans should do it, that would 59 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 4: stand to reason that he would also say the same 60 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 4: for Senate Republicans. But as you see, you know, the 61 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 4: White House really frantically try to reposition itself to focus 62 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 4: on affordability. You could see this issue sort of die 63 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 4: on the vine if there isn't that that political will 64 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 4: and might. 65 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg's Laura Davison. Now, the push for the 66 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: disclosure of the Epstein files has picked up since lawmakers 67 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: ended the government shut down. Separately, former Harvard University president 68 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: Larry Summers saying tonight that he plans to step back 69 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: from his public commitments after his correspondence with Epstein was 70 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: made public by US lawmakers. Summers is a Harvard professor 71 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: also a paid contributor to Bloomberg TV. He will continue 72 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: to fulfill his teaching obligations. New York City's mayor elect 73 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: Zoron Mamdani, has reached out to the White House, according 74 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: to The New York Times, to arrange a meeting with 75 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: President Trump. Yesterday, Trump mentioned the possibility of the meeting 76 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: to reporters. 77 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 3: The Mayor of New York, I will say, would like 78 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: to meet with us and we'll work something out. But 79 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 3: he would like to come to Washington and meet and 80 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 3: we'll work something out. We want to see everything work 81 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 3: out well for New York. 82 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: Mom Donnie said he hopes to use the meeting to 83 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: press the president to ease the affordability crisis. Bitcoin is 84 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: down sharply from its October high of one hundred and 85 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: twenty six thousand, currently trading it around ninety two thousand 86 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: and In that decline, bitcoin lost about six hundred billion 87 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: dollars in total market value, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. 88 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: Traders are anxious in trying to find explanations. Here is 89 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: Mike mcgloone senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence. 90 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 5: Bitcoin's been one of the worst performing major assets this year, 91 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 5: particularly on about to the adjustin basis. The Bloomberg Ouxy 92 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 5: crypto next is down ten percent. That's despite the S 93 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 5: and P five hundred and fifteen percent. So I think 94 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 5: they're finding out. Yeah, that was great in the past 95 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 5: when some of those early tech geeks and insiders made it. Well, 96 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 5: now they're getting out because they realized for the space 97 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 5: to go higher. Number One, you're supporting the Trump administration. 98 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 5: You're depending on the Trump and Missin and that's what's shifted. 99 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: In the past. 100 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 5: It was away from the system. So I think what 101 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 5: we did with Trump getting elected and with the etf 102 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 5: S gatting launch, as we put in an enduring peak, 103 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 5: but it's very similar to the dot com bubble peak 104 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 5: in nineteen ninety nine, two thousand. 105 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg's Mike mcgloan.
