<v Speaker 1>Good morning at seven thirty on Wall Street and Michael

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 1>McKee along with Tom Keene, lots of news out there

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 1>this morning. The latest news. Twitter gets the rights to

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>stream NFL games on Thursday night. What does that mean

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>for Twitter? Well, investors at the moment think it's good news.

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>The stocks up two percent, but we don't know what

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 1>they paid for it, so we shall see. Alegan shares,

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>on the other hand, are lower by one percent. The

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>new wills to limit the tax cutting power of corporate

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.720

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Elegant in jeopardy, analysts say back. Analysts cutting projections for

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Goldman Sachs again, lopping cents off the average estament for

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.199
<v Speaker 1>Golden Sachs adjusted earnings for share over the past four weeks.

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.320
<v Speaker 1>The pre share profit now forecast to tumble from a

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>year earlier to three dollars and thirty one Sex and

<v Speaker 1>Disney shares down two point three. Thomas Staggs Air apparent

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>at the world's largest entertainment company. Now we could say,

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>in disarray. Now let's check in with Michael bar and

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 1>get the latest world national headlines. Fighter, Mike, thank you

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>very much. Voters go to the polls today for the

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Wisconsin and Republican and Democratic primaries. Republican Ted Cruz is

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>aiming to clean up in Milwaukee. John Kasik has been

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>focusing on madisone, and experts believe Donald Trump will do

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>well in the northern part of the state. Hillary Clinton's

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>lead in the Democratic delegated coality is commanding, but rival

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders is leading in polling in Wisconsin. Mourners will

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>gather to day to remember a Virginia state trooper who

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>was killed by a gunman at a Richmond Greyhound bus station.

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Funerova Trooper Chad Dermeyer will be held this morning in Hampton.

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>The U. S. Supremem Court has unanimously ruled that states

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>can count everyone, not just eligible voters, in drawing voting districts.

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>The court stopped short of saying that states must use

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>total population. Decision rejected the challenge from Texas voters that

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>it could have deluded the voting power of urban democrats

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 1>to the benefit of rural Republicans. Global News twenty four

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Michael Penn now for the Bloomberg NBC Sports Update.

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>John Statue, are you look as tired as Tom Keene

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>staying up all night to watch that game? Yeah? That

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>was worth the enough for though. My championships rare in

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia and even rare. A championship game decided with zeros

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>on the clock and the ball in the air last

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>night in Houston, just after North Carolina's Marcus Page tied

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.919
<v Speaker 1>the n C Double A final with a three pointer

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>with a very high degree of difficult he was looking

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>like overtime. Instead, Villanova answered at half part with three

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>seconds bright Art d I Canna flips to take it

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>free cost with one to call, arguably the greatest finish

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to a championship game in Villanova seventy seven, North Carolina

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>seventy four. Rangers in the playoffs sixth raight year. Finally

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>clinted in the third try four to win at Columbus.

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Islanders close to kneel in their birth down five to

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>win over Tampa Bay. After the rain out, it will

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>be chilly with the Yankees and Astros set to go

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>today for the opener to Stadium. The Mets play this

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.880

<v Speaker 1>I'm John Stave Jenner. Thank you, John Well. Right now

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 1>we are looking at Twitter shares, the NFL rights going

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>to Twitter for Thursday nights streaming. Twitter shares now up

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to play two percent. But we're keeping any on news

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>from Twitter as to what they paid for this, whether

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>they can actually make any money on it. You're listening

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.600
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, h the second quarter gets underway

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>much the same as the first quarter did, with stocks

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>falling around the world. SMP futures in the US off

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>fourteen points seven tenths of a percent down. Futures are

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.919

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>news in science, technology, engineering and math and more on

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that touchdown scored by Twitter. According to a person familiar

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>with the that of the company is one a deal

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.520

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>cable arena in favor of online video streaming. A person

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>familiar with the matter had told Bloomberg that Facebook had

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.719
<v Speaker 1>ended its football streaming bid. That person had said Facebook

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>likes its live videos to be commercial free and boxed

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.120

<v Speaker 1>its Periscope live streaming Salesforce dot Com is acquiring meta

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:47.960

<v Speaker 1>that's this morning's Bloomberg n j I T STEM report. Michael,

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>not sure what that means, tyranny of technology. It means

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 1>it means don't pitch back to me right now when

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm busy tweeting. Okay, it's that tyranny of technology. Bot

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>thank you very much. Well, it is the data of

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.599
<v Speaker 1>the Wisconsin primary, and we may see some changes in

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the outlook for the presidential field where right now we

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>have you know, it looks like the Republicans are unsettled

0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.719
<v Speaker 1>and the Democrats are going with Hillary Clinton. But we

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>lc John Malden of All the Economics keeping a close

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>eye on all things political. He has produced a series

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>of letters called the Open Letter to the next President

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>on the challenges they face and what they should do.

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>And I want to focus and we only have a

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>few minutes unfortunately today, but on your suggestion to the

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 1>president for domestic policy here and you have two ideas.

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>One reform the corporate tax code, which of course is

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 1>not rocket science for a lot of politicians. But too

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about if we see an economic economic downturn,

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>basically the Fed should turn to helicopter money. It's not

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 1>exactly helicopter money. What we've got is four trillion dollars

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>sitting on the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve. It's

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>sitting there doing nothing. And what will happen, as you know,

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and by the way, I know this for many of

0:07:54.320 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>my conservative colleagues is heresy. But the chances that the

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>next Federal Reserve after a downturn in a recession will

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>give us que and probably negative rate. So we'll have

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>another trillion dollars another two trillion of QUE that will

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>do exactly what the last quee did, which is pretty

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>much nothing. So I'm saying that the new president should

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>come in sit down with the heads of Congress and said, guys,

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I want one amendment to the Federal Reserve Act. I

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>don't want to revisit it. I don't want to get

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>in depth and it just give me this one and

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 1>allow the Federal Reserve to issue one pent forty year

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>bonds for infrastructure construction. In fact, allow them as those

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>bonds are starting to roll off now, um, I mean

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>because they've got Jenny Mays and Treasure said, allow them

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 1>to start buying them now. So it's a preemptive que.

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 1>We're not going to increase the balance sheet of the

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:58.839
<v Speaker 1>Federal Reserve because we're just going to modify it. So

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>let's see, I mean, to million dollars is two three

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 1>million jobs minimum. That changes the economic dynamics. Otherwise, the

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.320
<v Speaker 1>next president is probably going to see a recession, and

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 1>as we know, getting out of recessions and getting a

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>recovery is a difficult process. So I think the next

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>president is better off avoiding it. And you only do

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>that with some massive stimulus. So let's do something for

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:31.080
<v Speaker 1>our children, which is um infrastructure that they'll actually have

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty years. It will make us more competitive and we

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>get all these jobs. One minute to the break, you

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>want to cut corporate taxes by a significant amount, big, Chuck,

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>let's let's go bigger, go home, But no deductions for

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:51.319
<v Speaker 1>anything and on all your foreign earnings. So I mean,

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:56.200
<v Speaker 1>there's no point at that point of not reversing these

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.680
