27
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: At the White House, President Biden was asked if he

28
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: was concerned about possible protests getting out of hand nor

29
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: her faith to New York. There is a massive police

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: Thanks Well, don't expect to see any of the actual

39
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: legal proceedings today. Much of it will happen behind closed doors,

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: and we get the details from Bloomberg. Steve Rappaport, Steve

41
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: Karen Nathan. Today's arraignment is a test of precedence and patience,

42
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: as the judge denied a request from news organizations to

43
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: broadcast the former president's appearance. Forget about reporters tweeting in

44
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: real time. Judge Juan Merchant also barred all electronic devices.

45
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: Members of the press and public will have access to

46
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: an overflow room to watch through closed circuit TV. Anyone

47
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: not on site. We'll get a glimpse of Trump in

48
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: the hallway or in the courtroom before the hearing gets underway.

49
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: Those are the only moments that news photographers will be

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: allowed to snap today, Live in New York. I'm Steve Rappaport,

51
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak. Thank you, Stevell. The more legal pressure former

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: President Trump faces, the stronger he gets. That's according to

53
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: Trump's former acting White House Chief of Staff, Mick Mulvaney.

54
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: The reason he says, is because it keeps the spotlight

55
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: on him and off his opponents. If everybody's talking about

56
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: the same thing, how do you get separation from the

57
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: rest of the pack? Question becomes what makes you different?

58
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: What makes you better? Why should I vote for you

59
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: instead of Donald Trump? If I think the world is

60
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: going in the wrong direction, why are you more likely

61
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: to move it back to Donald Trump? That's what they

62
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: have to answer. Mcmulvaney spoke with our Washington correspondent Joe

63
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,399
Speaker 1: Matthew on Bloomberg's Sound on. You can catch the show

64
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: weekdays at one pm Eastern on Bloomberg Radio or listen

65
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: on demand wherever you get your podcasts. Well, we turn

66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: to the markets now, Nathan, and oil is rising again.

67
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: It's building on yesterday's six percent rally. Right now, NIMEX

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Screwed oil is up four tenths of up percent. It's

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: at eighty dollars seventy three cents A barrel brand is

70
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: up a quarter percent at eighty five dollars fifteen cents.

71
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: And the game comes as President Biden downplays the announced

72
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: production cut from OPEC, but the move puts administration officials

73
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: in a tricky position and Bloomberg's Amy Morris has details

74
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: from our ninety nine one newsroom in Washington. Administration officials

75
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: are trying to find a balance between denouncing the move

76
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: and not souring relations with Saudi Arabia. National Security Council

77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: spokesman John Kirby says they were warned the cut was coming,

78
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: but they don't know what prompted it. I can't even

79
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: begin to speculate why this decision was made. We don't know.

80
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: We've been consistent in our plans to refill the Strategic

81
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: Petroleum Reserve. Kirby pointed out crude oil prices have fallen significantly,

82
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: and he says the decision was made by the entirety

83
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: of the OPEC plus cartel, suggesting the US did not

84
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: hold the Saudis solely responsible. In Washington, I'm Amy Morris,

85
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak, Thanks Amy. High oil prices are leading to

86
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: concerns about hotter inflation. Still, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook

87
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: says price pressure is starting to ease. At the same time,

88
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: she warns the fight against inflation remains front and center

89
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: thanks to a tight labor market, the war in Ukraine

90
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: and the reopening of China saying wage games moderating quite

91
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: a bit, so that I think is a hopeful side.

92
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: But the disinflationary processes and I think it's it's it's

93
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: in process, it's in train. We're not there yet. FED

94
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: Governor Lisa Cook says the Central Bank remains focused solely

95
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: on fighting inflation because the job market seems to be

96
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: doing all right well in Europe today, Nathan credit swieholds

97
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: a shareholder meeting. It's the first and last opportunity for

98
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: them to speak directly to the board after a government

99
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: orchestrated rescue of the bank. And Bloomberg's Maryon Halfdemeyers and

100
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: Zurich covering the meeting for US. This is the first

101
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: time in three years that shareholders will actually be able

102
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: to be face to face with their board of directors

103
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: because in the last couple of years, the pandemic has

104
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: has made these agms virtual. So this will be, you know,

105
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: an opportunity for shareholders to event about the last three

106
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: years of scandals and mismanagement at this bank um and

107
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, the last time that they will be able

108
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: to do so. Once this, you know, this bank marks

112
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: Karen job cuts are coming to the largest private sector employer, Walmart,

113
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: is eliminating more than two thousand positions at five e

114
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: commerce fulfillment centers. A spokesman says Walmart is also growing

115
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: in some areas as it adjusts its stores and fulfillment

116
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: centers to handle more online orders. That may allow the

117
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: company to reshuffle some workers to other jobs rather than

118
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: cut them. It's forty nine degrees in New York. It'll

142
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: they can do as they feel they must. But I

Speaker 1: who has a contribution to make is going to be

159
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: able to make that contribution, and our missions will be

160
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: more successful as a result. The Artemists two Crew is

165
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: Time now for our Bloomberg Sports update. For that, we're

166
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: bringing John's stash our all right, Nathan. Amazing what the

167
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: Yukon Huskies have done over the last less than thirty years.

168
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: Eleven national championships in women's basketball and now five more

169
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: by the men. They've won with three different coaches. Jim

170
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: Calhoun won three titles, Kevin Ollie won nine years ago,

171
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: and then Houston another NCAA tournament. Wrapped up by the Huskies.

172
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: They meet San Diego State in the final, seventy six

173
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: to fifty nine. Their coach now is Dan Hurley. So

174
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: it feels great to come through on promises made by

175
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: me to all the great people in Connecticut and then

176
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: with these guys. This was our vision, this was our dream.

177
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: This is what we talked about when we recruited these guys,

178
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: that we could get together and do something big like this,

179
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: And it's just great to come through on promises made

180
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: to players and to this universe. Earlier, the son of

Speaker 1: a hall of fame high school coaching legend in New Jersey,

182
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: Yukon had some down years. Came into this season having

183
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: not won a single NCWA Tourney games since twenty sixteen,

184
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: and this year they won six tourney games, and they

185
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: won them by an average of twenty points. Yankees third

186
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: one of the season. They've only allowed one run. Of

187
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: those three wins at the Stadium eight to one over

188
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: the still winless Phillies. Nestor Cortez got to win home

189
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: runs by Claver Torres and Anthony Rizzo. Mets lost in

Speaker 1: Milwaukee ten to nothing Brewers with a seven run fifth

191
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: inning included a Bryce Terrangue grand slam. Carlos Carrasto gave

192
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: up five runs and then Tommy Hunter served up five more.

193
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: Carrasto got called for a pitchclock violation before his first

194
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: pitch of the day. Anthony Randona the Angels suspended four

195
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: games by MLBA. Video caught him making physical contact with

196

Speaker 1: dot Com. This is Bloomberg Day Break. Good morning, I'm

201
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: Nathan Hager. Will be another historic day in the unprecedented

202
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: presidency and post presidency of Donald Trump. In just a

203
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: few hours, he will arrive at a courthouse in Lower

204
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: Manhattan to enter a not guilty plead to the first

205
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: ever criminal charges against a former president. Ahead of that,

206
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: we're joined live by Bloomberg's Pretty Guta. She's outside the

207
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: courthouse for us this morning. Go ahead and set the

208
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: scene for us, pretty What are we expecting later today? Well,

209
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm standing right outside the District Attorney's office in the

210
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: courthouse in southern Manhattan or downtown Manhattan. For our global audience,

211
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: this is basically right on the cost of Wall Street.

212
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: What you're seeing here is a very escalated media president.

213
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: You're seeing a lot of barricade, and you're forcing a

214
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: lot of press presidents as well. Essentially, the New York

215
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: community is bracing for some sort of widescale impact protest

216
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: rallies in preparation for President Trump's or former President Trump's

217
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: arraignment right out here where I'm standing from the courthouse.

218
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: And what kind of commotion could we expect. We'd heard

219
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: some reports that there might be some kind of demonstration

220
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: involving or what the New York Young Republicans, what's that about. Well,

221
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: there are a lot of different groups here on both

222
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: sides of this issue. Remember, I think for a global audience,

223
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: it is important to remember he is still a former

224
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: content is still not only a former president, but a

225
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: contender for the twenty twenty four presidential election. You are

226
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: going to see both protests and rallies supporting and trying

227
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: to push him out as well really talking about what

228
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: the charges actually are when it comes to what he's

229
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: really responsible for. A look, people are holding him accountable

230
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: for things like a role in the Capital Insurrection, either

231
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: one of the potential charges he will be charged with

232
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: today in the arraignment, things like what his role wasn't

233
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: overturning the Georgia election count in twenty twenty in addition,

234
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: of course, to the alleged hush money payments of one

235
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty thousand former adult film star Stormy Daniels,

236
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: among others. So there's a lot to digest here, and

237
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: of course, like I said, you are really preparing not

238
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: just for that group that you mentioned, but for a

239
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: lot of different groups to show up here. But perhaps

240
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: show up more near his home in Trump's Hower, closer

241
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: to Central Park, and that's really where we're going to see.

242
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: They already have seen a lot of the actions now

243
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: in terms of the case that's coming forward today, this

244
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: is related to the hush money payments to Stormy Daniels

245
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: during the twenty sixteen campaign. But as far as that goes,

246
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: we've heard a number of reports that there could be

247
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: multiple counts against the former president, but at this point

248
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: we don't really know exactly what they are, right, No,

249
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: we don't. We're looking for anywhere as it's twenty four

250
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: to thirty different charges. Now, the assumption here is Alan

251
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: Bragg is going to pursue the one hundred and thirty

252
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: thousand hush money payments that you just reference. But the

253
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: takeaway here is that don't seem to be the game

254
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: changer for Alvin Bragg, and really all comes down to

255
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: his star witness, Michael Cohen, who used to be an

256
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: employee of President Trump and his kind of a fixture

257
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: essentially who allegedly made the payments for President Trump. But

258
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: he's the one who kind of turns code here and said, look,

259
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be your star witness, and that seems

260
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: to be the game changer, which is why the assumption

261
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: here is that's the account that Alvin Bragg Is pointed

262
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: leader the Tener point there are a lot of other charges. Remember,

263
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: you are also dealing with the New York Attorney General

264
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: Latitia James looking at the same time into President Trump

265
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: and his family members about manipulating company asset values as well.

266
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: So there's a lot to digest here in terms of

267
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: what actually shows up in the chargets today, in terms

268
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: of what we could see at the courtroom later this afternoon.

269
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: The cameras aren't going to be allowed into the courtroom,

270
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: so it could be quite a while before we know

271
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: exactly what the president is charged with in this case,

272
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: isn't it Yes, that's absolutely true. That looks like the

273
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: judge last night made a decision there will be no

274
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: live broadcasting of the arrayment, potentially no live broadcasting of

275
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: the trial itself, but they will, however, allow photographs before

276
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: the arrayment is to start. So you're one hundred percent

277
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: right that we may actually not know what the counsel,

278
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: what's the charges actually are for days, weeks, even months

279
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: as the trial of kick Stock and ahead of this,

280
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: we know that the former president has added to his

281
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: legal defense team. He's gotten even more lawyers behind him.

282
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: What does that tell you about how this could go?

283
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: We got about a minute left. Yeah, we run about

284
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: a quick change to the legal team, and I think

285
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: what's really the takeaway from that, It's going to be

286
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: how the Trump defense team is actually approaching this court case.

287
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: Look over the weekend, who was his lead counsel, Joe Takakina,

288
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: did actually come out and say, Look, we are not

289
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: trying to make this theater We're not trying to make

290
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: the showmanship at all. We're not going to even file

291
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: to dismiss. We are going to plead not guilty. And

292
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: that is a big, big sign because looks of residing

293
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: judge is one merchant who President Trump has very vocally

294
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: said one merchant hates me. So the initial reaction was that, well,

295
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: maybe he would try to get the judge removed. Those

296
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: efforts haven't happened yet, So there is a very very

297
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: large effort to keep this under wrap. This is Bloomberg
