Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.
Speaker 3: Karen, we begin in Washington, where, after just four days,
Speaker 3: the partial government shutdown is over. President Trump has signed
Speaker 3: his deal with Senate Democrats to reopen the government with
Speaker 3: less than two weeks of funding for the Department of
Speaker 3: Homeland Security. That's to allow more time to negotiate on
Speaker 3: democrats demands on new limits for immigration enforcement. President Trump
Speaker 3: says the new law won't stop his immigration agenda.
Speaker 4: It continues to fund deportation flights that are removing dangers
Speaker 4: illegal aliens from our country. It continues historically successful efforts
Speaker 4: to reduce crime in our nation's capital. We have a
Speaker 4: very safe center right now.
Speaker 3: That was President Trump at the Oval Office bill signing
Speaker 3: herd live on Bloomberg Radio. Bloomberg's Eric Wasson reports lawmakers
Speaker 3: now have just nine days to come to an agreement
Speaker 3: done reining in ice agents.
Speaker 5: Democrats have a long list of demands, including judicial warrens
Speaker 5: and kicking masks off that Republicans are really not willing
Speaker 5: to entertain, and it's just very hard. The House would
Speaker 5: have to pass this very early next week for the
Speaker 5: Senate in order to take it up and get it
Speaker 5: done by February thirteenth. I don't see that happening, Bloomberg.
Speaker 3: Eric Wanson reports if they don't reach a deal by
Speaker 3: next Friday, FEMA and TSA employees could start to miss paychecks.
Speaker 3: ICE and Border Patrol would continue to receive funds under
Speaker 3: President Trump's One Big, Beautiful Tax and Spending Cut law.
Speaker 2: We now turn to geopolitics. Nathan Bloomberg News has learned
Speaker 2: Iran is asking the US to move diplomatic talks this
Speaker 2: Friday from Turkey to Oman cursus A. Tehran wants the
Speaker 2: talks to focus only on Around's nuclear activities and not
Speaker 2: its support for proxy Milicious in the Middle East and
Speaker 2: its ballistic missiles. President Trump has threatened to strike Iran
Speaker 2: if it does not agree to a deal, which his
Speaker 2: administration has signaled must include Iron's missiles and malicious support.
Speaker 3: Back in Washington, Karen, the dates are set for Bill
Speaker 3: and Hillary Clinton to testify about their ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 3: The House Oversight Committee says the former president will appear
Speaker 3: before the panel on February twenty seventh, the former Secretary
Speaker 3: of State will testify. The day before, February twenty sixth,
Speaker 3: the full House had planned to hold a criminal contempt
Speaker 3: vote against the Clintons if they continued to defy subpoenas.
Speaker 3: President Trump commented on it in the Oval Office.
Speaker 6: So that takes care of Epstein as far as Trump
Speaker 6: is concerned. But you have a lot of Democrats out
Speaker 6: there that are very much involved with Epstein. But I'll
Speaker 6: be honest with you, You got to get back to running.
Speaker 3: The country, President Trump, again, speaking in the Oval Office.
Speaker 3: The Oversight Committee says the Clintons have agreed to appear
Speaker 3: for transcribed filmed depositions behind closed doors. The Clinton's attorneys
Speaker 3: say they want the hearings open to the public to
Speaker 3: address their concerns about fairness.
Speaker 2: We now turn to the markets, Nathan, where S and
Speaker 2: P futures are little changed and gold is nearing fifty
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars an hound see Yesterday techdocs fell led
Speaker 2: by the recent sell off led by software stocks and
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's John Tucker joins us with the latest John and Karen.
Speaker 7: The theme that seems to have gripped investors is that
Speaker 7: AI is going to be able to do much of
Speaker 7: the stuff that software companies do, making their products far
Speaker 7: less important. That was reinforced when the AI firm Anthropic
Speaker 7: released an AI tool that does legal work. It looks
Speaker 7: like a case is sell now and ask questions later.
Speaker 7: Add to that the fact that investors are growing impatient
Speaker 7: about returns for all that CAPEX spending. Anika Gupta is
Speaker 7: at Wisdom Tree.
Speaker 2: Given the fact that now we're seeing CAPEX intentions rise
Speaker 2: sixty to eighty percent and the rising of very high levels,
Speaker 2: we're now starting to see investors become a lot.
Speaker 4: More discerning now.
Speaker 7: In this environment, Microsoft has been crushed down close to
Speaker 7: three percent yesterday, the software giant down close to twenty
Speaker 7: five percent from October New York. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio, John.
Speaker 3: Thanks, Big tech earnings continue today. When Alphabet reports this afternoon,
Speaker 3: we get a preview from Bloomberg's Tom Busby.
Speaker 8: Google's parent company. Alphabet expected to post solid revenue and
Speaker 8: profit growth for last quarter, with its cloud computing division
Speaker 8: expected to get a big boost from the release of
Speaker 8: its latest Gemini AI models, which it also integrated into
Speaker 8: its Google Search and its Chrome browser. Like rivals Meta
Speaker 8: and Microsoft, A big focus for investors, though, is all
Speaker 8: the spending it's done on AI infrastructure and efforts to
Speaker 8: power its data centers. Bloomberg consensus calls for revenue of
Speaker 8: one hundred eleven point four billion dollars on earnings per
Speaker 8: share of two dollars sixty five cents. Tom buzby Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, Tom, thank you well. Sticking with earning. Shares
Speaker 2: of Advanced micro Devices down more than seven percent in
Speaker 2: early trading. The chip makers are for top analyst estimates,
Speaker 2: but its sales forecast underwhelmed investors. It's a sign that
Speaker 2: AMD is not making the kind of AI inrows that
Speaker 2: some investors anticipated.
Speaker 3: Another chip maker is soaring in the pre market care,
Speaker 3: and that's Silicon Labs. Those shares are up more than
Speaker 3: thirty two percent. The Financial Times is reporting Silicon labses
Speaker 3: and talks to me acquired by Texas Instruments for around
Speaker 3: seven billion dollars.
Speaker 2: Nathan Bloomberg News has learned Nvidia is nearing a deal
Speaker 2: to invest twenty billion dollars in open Ai as part
Speaker 2: of its latest funding round. It marks a chit maker's
Speaker 2: single biggest investment in the chat GPT developer open Ai
Speaker 2: is looking to raise up to one hundred billion dollars
Speaker 2: in funding for a new round, with much of that
Speaker 2: coming from large tech firms in Europe.
Speaker 3: Parent's shares of Novo Nordisk are plunging more than seventeen percent.
Speaker 3: The pharma giant's warning of a steep decline in sales
Speaker 3: of its drugs. It says those sales will fall with
Speaker 3: as much as thirteen percent. Novo blames increased competition and
Speaker 3: lower prices for its blockbuster weight loss medicines, driven by
Speaker 3: a US government push to bring down drug costs. We
Speaker 3: spoke with Novo's CEO, Mike Doustar.
Speaker 9: Of course, I can understand that negative numbers are not
Speaker 9: good news to the market, but once again, this is
Speaker 9: something that we had anticipated and the obesity market is
Speaker 9: quite dynamic and the reason the range has its numbers
Speaker 9: on each end and it is because so many things
Speaker 9: can happen.

Speaker 3: new share buy backworth as much as two point four
Speaker 3: billion dollars.
Speaker 2: Nathan shares of UBS they are down almost five percent.

Speaker 10: we want to compete. Asset management is doing a good job,
Speaker 10: and the Swiss business is also holding up well despite
Speaker 10: the low rates or negative rates almost environment. And we're
Speaker 10: making also good progress on the integration. Eighty five percent
Speaker 10: of the Swiss clients of Credit Swiss had been migrated.
Speaker 10: We are delivering on our capital returns, so I can
Speaker 10: only be happy.
Speaker 2: To be honest, ubs CEO Sergio or Modi says. The
Speaker 2: bank broadly maintained its previously signaled financial targets.
Speaker 3: For the U and a notable Central Bank move Karen
Speaker 3: Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Myron is stepping down from his
Speaker 3: post leading the White House's Council of Economic Advisors. Myron
Speaker 3: had been on unpaid leave from his White House role
Speaker 3: after President Trump nominated him to the FED Board in
Speaker 3: September on a temporary basis to fill a vacated seat.
Speaker 3: That drew criticism from Senate Democrats, who said Myron on
Speaker 3: the FED undermined the Central Bank's credibility.
Speaker 2: Time now for a look at some of the other
Speaker 2: stories making news in New York and around the world.

Speaker 11: Sheriff Chris Nano spoke to reporters.
Speaker 8: You're asked if there was any ransom, and you didn't
Speaker 8: say no.

Speaker 11: can tell you.
Speaker 13: Get We've got hundreds of leads.
Speaker 11: Sheriff Nano says, Nancy Guthrie relies on medication that she

Speaker 11: Jersey over its cutoff of financing for the sixteen billion
Speaker 11: dollar Gateway rail tunnel under the Hudson River, a day
Speaker 11: after the public commission overseeing the project filed as suit.
Speaker 11: The States allege in a complaint Tuesday that the suspension
Speaker 11: of funds for the Hudson Tunnel project is a politically
Speaker 11: motivated attempt to punish and coerce those with whom the
Speaker 11: president disagrees. The NFL says there's no planned ice enforcement

Speaker 11: security officer Kathy Lanier the.

Speaker 2: after this.
Speaker 1: Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio nationwide on Sirius XM
Speaker 1: and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Business Out. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 3: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. The partial government shutdown maybe
Speaker 3: over at four days, but an even tougher fight remains
Speaker 3: on Capitol Hill over funds from immigration enforcement. House Speaker
Speaker 3: Mike Johnson says he's ready for it.
Speaker 7: They say they want a real negotiation with President Trump
Speaker 7: and Republicans over immigration enforcement policy, and we are happy
Speaker 7: to have that debate.
Speaker 3: And that was how Speaker Mike Johnson an on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 3: For more, We're joined by Bloomberg DC Breaking News editor
Speaker 3: Alexander Pearson. Alex how big a fight are lawmakers in
Speaker 3: for now over the next nine days?
Speaker 12: Good morning, Good morning, Nathan. Yeah, the fight is probably
Speaker 12: going to be a very big one. The gap between
Speaker 12: the Republicans and the White House on the one hand,
Speaker 12: and Democrats on the other is still very large. So
Speaker 12: despite the fact that they came to this agreement to
Speaker 12: reopen parts of the government that were shut down, there
Speaker 12: is only now nine days to come to an agreement
Speaker 12: on restrictions that Democrats have demanded on immigration rewinforcement. The
Speaker 12: problem is is that Republicans are not accepting many of
Speaker 12: those demands. Those include things like no immigration officers, not
Speaker 12: wearing masks, no identification, wearing identification, stopping roving operations in cities,
Speaker 12: and for the most part, Republicans don't want to agree to
Speaker 12: any of these. The Democrats are, for their part, say
Speaker 12: that they are not going to accept anything that does
Speaker 12: not meet some at least some of those demands. So
Speaker 12: it's very likely that next week we could be seeing
Speaker 12: another partial shutdown that would affect the Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 3: How would that partial shut down affect the Department of
Speaker 3: Homeland Security specifically, because we understand that even if there
Speaker 3: were a shutdown, ICE and Border Patroller are still funded
Speaker 3: under the tax and spending cut law.
Speaker 12: Right, Yeah, that's right, So there's unlikely to be any
Speaker 12: major disruptions to IO border Patrol because of the funding
Speaker 12: that was passed last year, those agency, those operations could
Speaker 12: still tap into that funding for some time. What would
Speaker 12: be affected very quickly would be TSA and also FEMA,
Speaker 12: so people working in those services would miss a paycheck
Speaker 12: after if there is no funding agreement by the end
Speaker 12: of next week, and that of course could be quite disruptive,
Speaker 12: particularly for anyone who's planning to travel to fly.
Speaker 3: See some major news later on this month, when Bill
Speaker 3: and Hillary Clinton testify about their Jeffrey Epstein ties to
Speaker 3: the House Oversight Committee. A subpoena against a former president
Speaker 3: is almost unheard of, Alex.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's rights. It has happened before, but it's an
Speaker 12: extremely rare event. And you know, this is obviously going
Speaker 12: to be a very high profile hearing. At the moment,
Speaker 12: it is said to be behind closed doors. It will
Speaker 12: be filmed and recorded, but they won't we won't see
Speaker 12: it live. That of course could still change, but that's
Speaker 12: how it's being done right now. And certainly, yeah, it's
Speaker 12: it's a very significant event given that we've not seen
Speaker 12: for many decades a former president testifying to a congressional committee.
Speaker 3: Why the focus on the Clinton specifically by the House
Speaker 3: Oversight Panel, as far as we understand.
Speaker 12: The well, the focus is really their ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 12: Certainly we know from the files of were released by
Speaker 12: the Department of Justice, and also prior to that that
Speaker 12: there were close contacts between Bill Clinton and Epstein, you know,
Speaker 12: in previous decades. For his part, the former president says
Speaker 12: he was not aware of any crimes that Epstein committed,
Speaker 12: and you know it was not involved in any wrongdoing,
Speaker 12: but the House Oversight Committee will want to really check
Speaker 12: what those ties were and how that might have affected
Speaker 12: federal enforcement in terms of investigating Epstein and his ties
Speaker 12: to various parts of the government.
