<v Speaker 1>US futures are higher this morning six o one on

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street. We checked the markets every fifteen minutes throughout

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the trading day. On Bloomberg, SNP Future is up seventeen

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>points down Future is up sixty six Nasdack Future is

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>up seventy five. The ten year Treasury little change yield

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.399
<v Speaker 1>two point seven four percent, and they yield on the

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>two year two point four six percent. Nathan Karen, the

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>SNP five hundreds on track for its first weekly gain

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>in nearly two months. The index rose two percent yesterday

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>for its biggest gain in ten days. Max Wasserman is

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>founder and senior portfolio manager at Merrimar Capital. I'm optimistic

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>in a long term. It doesn't mean you could get

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>it more downside, and we could see another five to

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>seven percent on the downside, but we think we're through

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the problem and it's been a bad market.

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the Majeck was down and the SNP was

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>close to down twenty. It could still go further, but

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.799
<v Speaker 1>we're not We're not bailing on this market. Mira Mark

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Capitals Max Wasserman made the comments on Bloomberg Business Week.

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Catch the program weekdays from two to five pm Wall

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Street Time on Bloomberg Radio. Meantime, Nathan's City Group is

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>getting more bearish on stock. Shall we get the details

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 1>life from Bloomberg's or any young? Good Morning, Rady Down,

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Good morning Karen. City Group cut its recommendation on US

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>stocks to neutral on the risk of a recession. Strategist

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>there join an increasing number of banks and warning of

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>a growth slow down. They say, with this high level

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>of uncertainty and a lack of reassurance from the Federal Reserve,

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the market is showing elements of a deflating bubble. But

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>opinion on US equities remains divided. Some Wall Street analysts

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>are betting on a rebound. They believe that the odds

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>of a recession are overstated. Live in New York, I'm

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>renned a young Bloomberg day. We need to thanks. Solid

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>retail earnings helped sentiment yesterday. Today, retail results are not

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>helping gap shares are down nine after the company's first

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>quarter profit missed estimates. We get the story from Bloomberg's

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Pellett. It shows that operational missteps and higher costs

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>are hurting the apparel retailer. The company, which also owns

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the Banana Republic and Old Navy brands, posted a loss

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>of forty four cents of share in the quarter ending April,

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>below analysts average estimates. Foliar earnings are now seen at

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>between forty and seventy cents a share, well below the

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>dollar eighty five to two oh five range previously provided

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 1>In New York Charlie pet Bloomberg Day Break, Ye Charley,

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>thank you will US futures are still higher despite those

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 1>results from Gap. Sentiment was also strong overnight in Asia

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>after solid earning from Chinese tech companies. They get the

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>recount from Bloomberg's Juliette Sally In Singapore. Good morning, Juliette,

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Good morning Karen. The Regional Benchmark Index posted its miss

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>gain in a week, rising for the first time in

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>four sessions to set itself up for a second weekly advance.

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Alibama and Baidu Shares rallied in Hong Kong, lifting the

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>hang same Tech index after both beat sales forecast. Japanese

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>equities also rose as the nation announced it would reopen

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>to selectors on package tools from June ten, and Australian

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>retailers recorded a fourth consecutive months of sales gains, highlighting

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>underlying momentum in the economy and a degree of resilience

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>among consumers in Singapore. Juliet Sally Bloomberg, day break, All right, Juliet.

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Thanks In Shanghai, we're seeing more signs of the extreme

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>steps being taken to keep factories running during COVID lockdowns.

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Workers at an Apple supplier, Quanta Computer, have started to

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>revolt against their bosses after being locked down in their

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>factory for almost two months. They've been fighting with guards

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and rushing past isolation barriers in search of daily necessities.

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>The current system forces workers to live and sleep on

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.039
<v Speaker 1>factory sites, and now Nathan China is coming under even

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>more pressure from the White House, as Bloomberg said, Baxter

0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>reports Secretary of State Anthony Blankel is vowing to in

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>fluence China's behavior by shaping the world around Beijing. B

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Lincoln says this is a charged moment for the globe

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and says while he would like to work with China,

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Beijing cannot be trust as stand ready doing prestarted recommunication

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 1>with Beijing across a full range of issues, and we

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>hope that that can happen, but we cannot rely on

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Beijing to change its trajectory. B Lincoln says, alliances like

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the Quad this. At the same time, the U, S

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>and Taiwan have announced plans to enter into economic talks

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>enhancing economic cooperation and supply chain resiliency. Ian San Francisco,

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm at Baxter Bloomberg daybreak al right. At thanks meantime,

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the war in Ukraine rages on, and now the US

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.039
<v Speaker 1>is rejecting a food for sanctions relief plan by Russian

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 1>President Vladimir Putin. The proposal would facilitate fertilizer and grain exports,

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 1>but if sanctions on Russia are lifted, that's the condition,

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 1>US says. The Kremlin's blocking the shipments and stoking concerns

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 1>of a global food shortage. Well, we turn out closer

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.280
<v Speaker 1>to home, Nathan, with the latest on the school rooting

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 1>in Jivaldi, Texas. The National Rifle Association is holding its

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>annual convention in Houston today, but Texas Governor Greg Abbott

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>won't be there. The Dallas Morning News says he's dropped

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>plans to address the event in person. He'll give a

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>prerecorded speech instead. Anytime, Senate Democrats say there's room for

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.039
<v Speaker 1>a compromise on gun control legislation, and we spoke with

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Maryland Democrat Ben Kurden. What I'd like to see don

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>is certainly closed. The loopholes in the background check red

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>flags are consistent with that. We need to deal with

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the military style UH and high capacity magazines that are

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 1>out there that are the weapon choice for those who

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>want to commit mass murders. Senator Ben Kurten in Maryland

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 1>spoke with our Washington correspondent Joe Matthew on Bloomberg Sound

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 1>on Catch the show weekdays at five pm Eastern on

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Radio. And in the interest of transparency, we should

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>note that Michael Bloomberg, the founder and majority owner of

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.559
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg Radio, is a donor

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>to groups that support gun control. And what more, note

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>out of Washington this morning, Karen, the White House is

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 1>scrambling to do something about record high gas prices this

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.280
<v Speaker 1>election year. Bloomberg News has learned the Biden administration has

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>reached out to the oil industry about restarting closed refineries.

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>The average price of a gallon of regular unletted stood

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>at a record four dollars sixty cents as of Wednesday.

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Bloomberg Daybreak and it sounds six o

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 1>seven on Wall Street where sixty five degrees in Central Park.

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I've got accident clean up on the westbound l I

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>E at the b Que. The off ramp is closed.

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>There more coming up in traffic. First Michael Barr with

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 1>more on what else is going on in New York

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>and around the world. Michael, thank you very much. Nathan.

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>If you're traveling this Memorial Day weekend, getting ready for

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 1>busy airports and roads despite the rising costs of gas

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>and airfare, The Triple A says more than thirty nine

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>million people will travel fifty miles or more during the

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>holiday weekend. Triple A spokesman Andrew Gross says the majority

0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>of them will be hitting the roads despite these record

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>gasoline crisis. We are expecting, based on what we're seeing

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>from Memorial Day, that it's going to be a very

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>robust travel period for summer people just want to get

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 1>out and go. A gallon of regular now tops four

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 1>dollars in all fifty states. New York City will bid

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to host the Democratic National Convention at Madison Square Garden

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>in four. Mayor Eric Adams says this is a team

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>New York moment. This is not about Democrat or republic

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's about how do we bring resources to while

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.719
<v Speaker 1>we're city. The last time New York City hosted the

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Convention was in and former President Bill Clinton was nominated.

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Federal health officials say there are now nine presumptive cases

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.319
<v Speaker 1>of monkey pots in the US, including one in New

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.719
<v Speaker 1>York City. The city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>said that officials will be treating this as a probable

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:55.200
<v Speaker 1>case and will continue its contact tracing efforts globally. The

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 1>w h L says it has confirmed about two hundred

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:02.200
<v Speaker 1>monkey pox cases. The w HLS Dr Maria van Kerhof

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 1>has addressed misinformation about the spread of the virus. She

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>notes that it can be spread through sexual contact, but

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 1>it is not an STD and although it's not a

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>new virus, it's now popping up in countries where it

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 1>does not usually spread. We are asking countries to expand

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 1>surveillance so that we are looking for cases of monkeypox um,

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:27.679
<v Speaker 1>cases of rash um, particularly in people who presents at

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 1>sexual health clinics or emergency departments. Dr Maria Vankerhove answered

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>questions on the whose Facebook page. A California parole panel

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>has recommended the release of Charles Manson follower Patricia Krenwinkle.

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>She rolled helter skelter on a wall using the blood

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.559
<v Speaker 1>of one of her victims, including actor Sharon Tate. In

<v Speaker 1>and analysts in more than a hundred twenty countries. Michael Barr,

0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>this is Bloomberg. Nathan all right, Michael, thank you very much.

<v Speaker 1>And it's almost six ten on Wall Street. Now time

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 1>for the Bloomberg Sports Update. Here's Scott Seidenberg. Thanks Nathan Nesty.

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Nestor lives up to his name. Nestor Cortez through eight

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>innings of one run balls, the Yankees beat the race

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>seven two. At the Trump Cortez allowed just four hits,

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 1>retiring fourteen straight. At one point, here was Aaron Booney.

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I think how efficient he got, you know, I had

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 1>to work a little bit in a first inning, and

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>then he just dialed in from from a command standpoint

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 1>and kind of cruise there, uh for much of the game. Um,

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 1>but I thought he was really sharp. Prior to the game,

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees signing former Cardinals all star Mett Carpenter. He

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 1>went over two with a walk as the designated hitter.

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 1>The Mets were off last night. They begin to set

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.319
<v Speaker 1>with the Phillies tonight at City Field. The Rangers are

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>on the brink of elimination after falling to Carolina three

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 1>one last night. Game six at the Garden tomorrow or

<v Speaker 1>prompting brokers to lower their targets and downgrade the stock.

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Of course, that wall of warri we've been talking about

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 1>for retailers hitting gap across the board, inflation, the margin story, inventory,

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.200

<v Speaker 1>Now here's Michael Barr with more on what's going on

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 1>around the world. Michael, thank you very much, Karen. Texas

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Governor Greg Abbott reportedly dropped plans to address the National

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Rifle Association's annual meeting in person. The event, starting to

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>day in Houston comes just days after the deadly school

0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>shooting in Uvalde. A week filled with goodbyes continues for

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 1>families and friends of victims of the racist attack on

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 1>a Buffalo supermarket. Funeral services set for today for three

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>of those killed. The US rejected a plan by Russian

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 1>President Vladimir Putin to facilitate grain and fertilizer exports only

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 1>if sanctions on his country are lifted. The US blames

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the Kremlin for blocking shipments and stoking concerns of global

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>food shortages. In the NHL playoffs, the Rangers are on

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.359
<v Speaker 1>the brink of elimination. New York lost to the Hurricanes

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>in Game five in the NBA Playoffs. The Warriors are

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>in the finals. They won the West, beating the Mavericks.

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 1>In baseball, the Yankees beat the Rays. New York and

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay dedicated their Twitter feeds last night posting gun

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 1>awareness messages rather than baseball stats. The Red Sox Nationals

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 1>won the A's Lost. Global news twenty four hours a

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 1>day on air and on Bloomberg Quicktake, powered by more

0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 1>than twenty seven hundred journalists and analysts in more than

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 1>one h twenty countries. I'm Michael Barr, and this is Bloomberg. Nathan. Okay, Michael,

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>thank you. It is six one on Wall Street Live

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 1>from the Bloomberg Interactive Brokers Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's get more now on the war in Ukraine and

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the response from Europe. Boris Johnson wants even more military

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 1>support for Ukraine as it continues to battle Russian forces.

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>The UK Prime Minister sat down for an exclusive interview

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 1>with Bloomberg Goose this morning. We spoke with him aboard

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>a train as he travels today. Let's listen in to

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>part of that conversation right now. I think it's very,

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 1>very important but we do not get into we do

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 1>not get lulled because of the incredible roism of the

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainians in uh In, pushing the Russians back from the

0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>gates of Kien, because of the amazing valor of President Zelenski,

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 1>we should not believe that this problem has gone away.

0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:57.120
<v Speaker 1>On the contrary, I'm afraid that Putin, at great cost

0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to himself and to to to Russian mistry, he's can

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 1>sinuing to chew through ground in don Bat, He's continuing

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:10.159
<v Speaker 1>to make gradual, slow but I'm afraid palpable progress, and

0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:14.160
<v Speaker 1>therefore it is absolutely vital that we continue to support

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the Ukrainians military, and indeed, I think that they what

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:25.120
<v Speaker 1>they need now is the type of rocketry multiple launch

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:29.880
<v Speaker 1>rocketism l l r S that will enable them to

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 1>defend themselves against his very brutal Russian artillery. And that's

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 1>where the world needs to needs to go down. Okay,

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.640
<v Speaker 1>final question, and this is about President Selinski. Years you've

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 1>stood shoulder to shoulder with him. But there's certain calls

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:48.160
<v Speaker 1>around Europe, pat from France, from Germany to maybe settled

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>with Putin. Try and trying what I would say to

0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:57.479
<v Speaker 1>any to any such proponent of a deal with Putin?

0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.119
<v Speaker 1>How can you deal? How can you deal? And the

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.040
<v Speaker 1>crocodile when it's in the middle of meeting your left leg,

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what's what's the negotiation, and that is what

0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Putin is doing, and any kind of he will try

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 1>to freeze the conflict. He will try and call for

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 1>a ceasefar while he remains in possession of substantial parts

0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:21.199
<v Speaker 1>of you. And I make that point to all my

0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.480
<v Speaker 1>friends and colleagues in the in the G seven and

0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 1>at Nata, and by the way, everybody gets that once,

0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.840
<v Speaker 1>once you go through the logic, you can see that

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:35.760
<v Speaker 1>it's very, very difficult to get a negotiated solution. We

0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.680
<v Speaker 1>desperately need need it to end. We dobt the world

0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 1>needs it to end. But the one way that it

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:47.600
<v Speaker 1>can end is for Putin to accept that. Let us

0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:52.600
<v Speaker 1>say that the d Nartification of Ukraine has taken place,

0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and that he's able to withdraw with dignity and honor,

0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:02.440
<v Speaker 1>and that would be that's what needs to happen. I'm

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.399
<v Speaker 1>not saying I'm not saying that they're wearing any Nazis

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in Ukraine, but you know, I think one of the

0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:11.240
<v Speaker 1>interesting things about the situation is the very strong support

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 1>that Putin commands in Russia for what he anything that

0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 1>he says, well does I think he has the political

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 1>margin of maneuver to make an end to this. And

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:25.840
<v Speaker 1>that was Boris Johnson speaking exclusively this morning with Bloomberg News.

<v Speaker 1>with this high level of uncertainty and a lack of

0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:44.400
<v Speaker 1>reassurance from the Federal Reserve, the market is showing elements

0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:48.520
<v Speaker 1>of a deflating bubble. But opinion on US equities remains divided.

0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Some Wall Street analysts are betting on a rebound. They

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:55.920
<v Speaker 1>believe that the odds of a recession are overstated. Live

0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:05.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a much different story. Shares of Gap are down

0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:09.200
<v Speaker 1>eighteen percent in early trading. The retailer lowered its full

0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:31.120
<v Speaker 1>short of a free trade agreement. Beijing has warned Washington

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:34.600

<v Speaker 1>Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner is rejecting calls to cancel the convention.

0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 1>We just don't have that luxury of that option, just

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:58.560
<v Speaker 1>to cancel a convention that has been on the books

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:03.840
<v Speaker 1>for two years where we are contractually obligated. Houston Mayor

0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Sylvester Turner says the n r A could delay the

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:08.200
<v Speaker 1>convention if it wants, but he doesn't think that will happen.

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:11.160

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:44.119
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the game. According to Gerard glance Well,

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:45.679
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think we played a game at all. I

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:47.639
<v Speaker 1>thought we were reaching which sticks all night instead of

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:50.440
<v Speaker 1>finishing checks with the body like we did the other nights. Obviously,

0:26:50.440 --> 0:26:52.760

0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:16.920
<v Speaker 1>as the designated hitter. The Mets were off last night.

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:19.840
<v Speaker 1>They begin a set with the Phillies tonight at City Field. NBA.

0:27:19.960 --> 0:27:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Last night, the Warriors beat the Mavericks to earn a

0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 1>trip back to the NBA Finals for the sixth time

0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 1>in the last eight seasons. Tonight, the Celtics look close

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:31.439
<v Speaker 1>out the Heats in the Eastern Conference Finals. Tennis at

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:34.920

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:44.879
<v Speaker 1>four matches in a row back in ten I'm Scott

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:48.400
<v Speaker 1>s Edinburg with Bloomberg Sports, Nathan Alright, Scott, thanks six

0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:51.080
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven on Wall Street and Bloomberg Radio and TV

0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Markets Corresponding, Crety Gupta is back with us this morning

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.400
<v Speaker 1>for more of a look at some of the stocks

0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:59.320
<v Speaker 1>moving in the pre market. Cretty, good morning. We mentioned

0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the drop in gap shares this morning on earnings. What

0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:04.840
<v Speaker 1>else has your eye? Well, let's just take a beat

0:28:04.880 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and give maybe a little bit more attention to the gap, sure,

0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:09.920
<v Speaker 1>because it's it's fascinating to me. GPS is your taker,

0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:12.480
<v Speaker 1>folks down eighteen percent. We've been covering it all morning

0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:15.280
<v Speaker 1>on Bloomber television and radio and this is important at

0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:17.800
<v Speaker 1>least to me, and I'm sure it's the broader consumer

0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:21.520
<v Speaker 1>as well. But the wall of rory that we were seeing, inflation,

0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:26.040
<v Speaker 1>supply chain issues, margin pressure, the COVID nineteen lockdowns, a

0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:29.399
<v Speaker 1>slowing consumer, all of that is showing up in gap earnings.

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I think, to me, it's not just the guidance cut

0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:34.320
<v Speaker 1>that was more than expected. That, of course is is

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:36.680
<v Speaker 1>tanking the stock this morning, but it's also this kind

0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 1>of nugget indulge me here, Nathan, This nugget here on

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 1>store closures, I think is so important. We haven't heard

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:46.480
<v Speaker 1>about store closures since I want to say, the pandemic

0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Onslaught and Gap actually saying that they're going to close

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:54.720
<v Speaker 1>fifty Gap and Banana Republic stores but open forty Athleta

0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:57.840
<v Speaker 1>and Old Navy stores for international audience. Athleta and Old

0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Navy are kind of the uh, I don't want to say,

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:05.320
<v Speaker 1>cheaper but more but inexpensive relative to Gap in Banana Republic.

0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 1>So it's interesting that they're making that diverges. They put

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:09.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of weight in Old Navy lately anyway, had

0:29:09.400 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of an executive shake up as well.

0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:13.640
<v Speaker 1>But the fact that they are kind of making that

0:29:13.680 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 1>pivot and kind of therehaps pulling away from the Gap

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:19.320
<v Speaker 1>in Banana Republic in some ways, it's interesting. Compare that

0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:22.280
<v Speaker 1>to what you saw from Macy's and Nordstrom, where they're saying, well,

0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the wealthy consumers actually quite uh insulated from some of

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:28.280
<v Speaker 1>these issues, so that was very important to me. GPS

0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 1>is your taker down eighteen percent. Thanks for indulging me

0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 1>on my little journey there with the gap. Okay, well,

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:37.680
<v Speaker 1>let's take a look at some I guess outside of

0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the retail sector. What else you looking at? We got

0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:42.480
<v Speaker 1>to talk abou d D D here Um, this is such

0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:44.840
<v Speaker 1>an important story as we talked about Chinese A d

0:29:45.000 --> 0:29:47.000
<v Speaker 1>R S broadly. D I d I S your ticker

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:50.400
<v Speaker 1>up eight percent this morning Bloomberg reporting that the state

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:53.800
<v Speaker 1>owned automaker China f a W Group is considering acquiring

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:56.800
<v Speaker 1>a significant steak in the ride hailing company. This is

0:29:56.840 --> 0:29:59.760
<v Speaker 1>important as we talk about how much kind of g

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.920
<v Speaker 1>for mint use there is a government stake there is

0:30:03.160 --> 0:30:05.720
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of these Chinese companies, especially ones that

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>have perhaps listings in the United States where perhaps will

0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 1>be delisted. Indeed, if d D is a case study

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:13.600
<v Speaker 1>for some of those other Chinese tech companies, what's next

0:30:13.640 --> 0:30:15.520
<v Speaker 1>is going to be the question. Nevertheless, d I d

0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I is your ticker up eight percent, Nathan, I also

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:19.480
<v Speaker 1>want to stick to the tech story and talked about

0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>the z Scaler z S is your taker up four

0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:25.600
<v Speaker 1>percent this morning. This is a security software company, makes

0:30:25.600 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of cloud products. It also has a lot

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 1>to do with cybersecurity. They report a third quarter results

0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that beat expectations. They raise their full year forecast. Member.

0:30:33.120 --> 0:30:35.479
<v Speaker 1>This is coming in the wake of the war Ukraine

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:38.080
<v Speaker 1>is also coming post pandemic, where you have a lot

0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:40.080
<v Speaker 1>of companies saying, Okay, now that we're in this new

0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:42.640
<v Speaker 1>work from home structure, we have this new kind of

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:46.120
<v Speaker 1>era of technology, maybe we should really accelerate our switch

0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:49.240
<v Speaker 1>to cloud anti cybersecurity. Nevertheless, z S seeing that on

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:52.560
<v Speaker 1>their balance sheet up four percent, created as always good

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:54.240

<v Speaker 1>decades and as a Bloomberg n j I t STEM report.

0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Nathan all Right, Karen Thank you. We are live from

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the Bloomberg Interactive Broker Studios where it's almost six fifty

0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:42.759
<v Speaker 1>one on Wall Street time now to check what's going

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:44.680
<v Speaker 1>on in d C. Some of the top stories in

0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:48.080
<v Speaker 1>our nation's capital include Senate Democrats eyeing the potential for

0:35:48.120 --> 0:35:51.680
<v Speaker 1>a compromise on gun safety after the Vivaldi shooting, the

0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:55.360
<v Speaker 1>US planning economic talks with Taiwan, and the latest challenge

0:35:55.360 --> 0:35:59.600
<v Speaker 1>to China, and the White House eyeing restarting idle refineries

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to tame sky high fuel prices. It's getting brought in

0:36:03.120 --> 0:36:06.120
<v Speaker 1>all these stories. Now we're joined by Bloomberg Government Congressional

0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:09.920
<v Speaker 1>reporter Jack Fitzpatrick, who remains a busy man despite the

0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:14.320
<v Speaker 1>fact that Congress is going off on recess. Jack, good morning.

0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:18.560
<v Speaker 1>What is this potential for guns safety compromise given that

0:36:18.640 --> 0:36:22.239
<v Speaker 1>the Senate has started going out of town. Now, yeah,

0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:25.360
<v Speaker 1>they have left town in a fit an official capacity,

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:27.880
<v Speaker 1>but some members may be staying in town or at

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:32.160
<v Speaker 1>least communicating with each other over the ten day recess.

0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:36.400
<v Speaker 1>It seems that John Cornyn has sort of been deputized

0:36:36.440 --> 0:36:39.799
<v Speaker 1>as the Republican in the Senate who will take the

0:36:39.880 --> 0:36:44.280
<v Speaker 1>lead in these discussions. Uh, Chris Murphy has been very involved.

0:36:44.280 --> 0:36:47.440
<v Speaker 1>A number of bipartisan senators though involved in these talks,

0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:51.440
<v Speaker 1>it's about something very limited in scope. We know that, Uh,

0:36:51.520 --> 0:36:56.920
<v Speaker 1>there have been discussions on red flag laws, about instances

0:36:56.960 --> 0:37:00.880
<v Speaker 1>in which law enforcement can take guns away from people

0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:04.239
<v Speaker 1>based on criminal history or other red flags, as the

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:08.760
<v Speaker 1>name suggests. Unclear if this would be potentially a federal

0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:11.960
<v Speaker 1>red flag law or if you listen to someone like

0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Lindsey Graham, he has mentioned maybe incentivizing states to pass

0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:21.200
<v Speaker 1>those red law red flag laws. So it's nothing that would,

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, drastically reduce the four million guns in America.

0:37:25.920 --> 0:37:29.479
<v Speaker 1>It's not something that gun control advocates would necessarily get

0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:32.799
<v Speaker 1>excited about. But those conversations are happening to see what

0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:35.799
<v Speaker 1>they realistically could get through the Senate with sixty votes,

0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:38.160
<v Speaker 1>uh and and try to come up with a a

0:37:38.320 --> 0:37:41.480
<v Speaker 1>sort of slimmed down compromise. Why do you see the

0:37:41.520 --> 0:37:46.319
<v Speaker 1>momentum for some kind of compromise moving forward in the Senate? Jack,

0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:49.440
<v Speaker 1>We have an n r A convention happening today, just

0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:52.000
<v Speaker 1>days after the shooting in Uvaldi, and it's in the

0:37:52.080 --> 0:37:54.880
<v Speaker 1>same state of Texas where this is happening, and we

0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:58.400
<v Speaker 1>know that President Biden is going to be visiting Uvaldi

0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:03.640
<v Speaker 1>this weekend. US Obviously, just the gruesome nature of this

0:38:03.800 --> 0:38:08.959
<v Speaker 1>shooting at least motivates people to take action, uh in

0:38:09.040 --> 0:38:13.720
<v Speaker 1>some capacity. Again, the legislative outlook would be very very narrow,

0:38:14.520 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 1>but politically it's something that demands a response. So you

0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:22.560
<v Speaker 1>see the President preparing to go to Uvaldi. Uh. You

0:38:22.680 --> 0:38:26.719
<v Speaker 1>see Texas Governor Greg Abbott sort of partially pulling out

0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:29.840
<v Speaker 1>of that n r A annual meeting. He's still supposed

0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 1>to do a virtual video discussion, but the report from

0:38:35.600 --> 0:38:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the Dallas Morning News with it was that he was

0:38:37.400 --> 0:38:40.880
<v Speaker 1>not going to attend in person anymore. Uh. So it's

0:38:40.920 --> 0:38:43.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a you know, it's a very partisan issue where

0:38:43.920 --> 0:38:48.040
<v Speaker 1>at least at face value for the idea of Second

0:38:48.040 --> 0:38:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Amendment rights, Republicans are not wholeheartedly backing down, but there

0:38:52.760 --> 0:38:56.839
<v Speaker 1>there is motivation to do something. It's just that right now,

0:38:56.880 --> 0:39:00.520
<v Speaker 1>at least in Congress, the discussion is about something very

0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:03.920
<v Speaker 1>limited that could actually get bipartisan support. And just for

0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:07.000
<v Speaker 1>interance of transparency, we should note that Michael Bloomberg, foundered

0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 1>majority owner of the parent company of this operation, Bloomberg LP,

0:39:11.840 --> 0:39:14.600
<v Speaker 1>does donate to groups that support gun control, including Every

0:39:14.640 --> 0:39:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Town for Gun Safety. Let's turn out Jack to another

0:39:17.840 --> 0:39:21.160
<v Speaker 1>potential friction point. I think it's probably safe to say

0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:24.600
<v Speaker 1>between the US and China now with this report from

0:39:24.600 --> 0:39:28.879
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg News that economic talks could be starting pretty soon

0:39:28.960 --> 0:39:33.200
<v Speaker 1>between the US and Taiwan. Yes, uh, that obviously is

0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:37.600
<v Speaker 1>done with an eye towards China. UH. These economic talks

0:39:37.640 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 1>between the US and Taiwan would fall short of a

0:39:40.920 --> 0:39:43.920
<v Speaker 1>free trade agreement. It's not something that uh that the

0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:46.880
<v Speaker 1>White House would have to go to Congress to for approval.

0:39:47.239 --> 0:39:50.640
<v Speaker 1>It is sort of in line with the Indo Pacific

0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Economic Framework that President Biden has announced and work with

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:59.600
<v Speaker 1>other Asian countries on. This is separate from that, at

0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:03.480
<v Speaker 1>least in part because some of those other countries were

0:40:03.520 --> 0:40:06.239
<v Speaker 1>concerned about the message it would send uh, sort of

0:40:06.280 --> 0:40:10.360
<v Speaker 1>alienating China to involve Taiwan in this. The US clearly

0:40:10.440 --> 0:40:14.400
<v Speaker 1>is not quite as concerned about about sort of negative

0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:19.040
<v Speaker 1>repercussions from China. UH. And it's part of a broader

0:40:19.120 --> 0:40:24.640
<v Speaker 1>attempt to at least in some limited way through executive actions, UM,

0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:28.759
<v Speaker 1>sort of align the US with Asian countries other than

0:40:28.880 --> 0:40:31.080
<v Speaker 1>China more than what has done in the past. This

0:40:31.080 --> 0:40:35.960
<v Speaker 1>would be a sort of supply chain resilience measures, trade

0:40:36.040 --> 0:40:39.440
<v Speaker 1>measures that aren't quite up to the standard of a

0:40:39.480 --> 0:40:42.040
<v Speaker 1>trade agreement that would guarantee market access. It would be

0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:44.520
<v Speaker 1>much more limited than a true trade agreement, but still

0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:48.839
<v Speaker 1>a framework discussion with Taiwan. And finally, Jack, we're heading

0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:52.720
<v Speaker 1>into Memorial Day weekend here, the unofficial start of summer

0:40:52.800 --> 0:40:55.920
<v Speaker 1>driving season. It looks like the Biden administrations making a

0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:59.880
<v Speaker 1>new move to try to tamp down these UH sky

0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:02.840
<v Speaker 1>high gas prices we're dealing with right now. Yes, so

0:41:02.880 --> 0:41:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration is contacting people in the oil industry

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:13.319
<v Speaker 1>to discuss the parameters of what might happen regarding restarting

0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:18.920
<v Speaker 1>oil refineries that had closed down. It's not a formal request,

0:41:18.960 --> 0:41:21.600
<v Speaker 1>but according to our colleague Ari Natter, who has reported

0:41:21.600 --> 0:41:25.320
<v Speaker 1>on this UH, the National Economic Council has had people

0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:29.400
<v Speaker 1>UH inquiring to the industry about what kind of factors

0:41:29.480 --> 0:41:34.399
<v Speaker 1>led to refineries closing, what might help restart that and

0:41:34.400 --> 0:41:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and increase the capacity for them to UH to do

0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to refine oil. It's part of a bit of a

0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:44.200
<v Speaker 1>patchwork approach by the President and Democrats to try to

0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:49.000
<v Speaker 1>have some sort of action regarding oil prices. It's been difficult.

0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:52.960
<v Speaker 1>They've they've stalled a bit on a price gouging measure

0:41:53.080 --> 0:41:56.800
<v Speaker 1>that was supposed to uh sort of focus on gas

0:41:56.840 --> 0:42:00.239
<v Speaker 1>prices and other increasing prices. But it's at LEAs east

0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:02.920
<v Speaker 1>to a sign of activity from the White House, as

0:42:02.960 --> 0:42:05.680
<v Speaker 1>they know they have to be seen taking some sort

0:42:05.680 --> 0:42:08.799
<v Speaker 1>of action and and and I guess hustling at least

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:11.319
<v Speaker 1>in some way on gas prices. Ye. I can't take

0:42:11.320 --> 0:42:15.000
<v Speaker 1>a holiday with the average right around four sixty a

0:42:15.080 --> 0:42:18.879
