This is Bloomberg Daybreak. 203 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 3: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Republican Congressman Matt Gates of 204 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 3: Florida says he backs speakership bids by both representatives, Steve 205 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 3: Scalise and Jim Jordan. Gates tells Bloomberg's Joe Matthew and 206 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 3: Amrie Horder, and the person isn't as important as the 207 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 3: plan to cut government spending. 208 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 4: I'm for both of them right now. I'm eager to 209 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 4: hear their plans and their vision. But if the House 210 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 4: of Representatives goes from the stewardship of Kevin McCarthy to 211 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 4: either the stewardship of Jim Jordan or Steve Scalise, that's 212 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 4: going to come to the delight of many Conservatives and 213 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 4: certainly many of the Floridians that I represent. But it's 214 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 4: not just about the person. Both of these folks are 215 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 4: honorable man it's about the plan they have to reduce spending. 216 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 4: We sit a top of thirty three trillion dollar debt, 217 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 4: We're facing two trillion dollar plus annual deficits, and I 218 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 4: am worried about global dedollarization. I see what's going on 219 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 4: in the African Union where more of those countries are 220 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 4: using local currency when they're selling natural resources. I look 221 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 4: to a lot of the golf monarchies and energy producers 222 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 4: in the Middle East that are moving away from the 223 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 4: dollar and toward the One matter of fact, the United 224 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 4: Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Iran just in August joined 225 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 4: the bricks system, the Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa 226 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 4: system to de dollarize. That with the latest Reuters survey 227 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 4: showing that economic analysts now believe that in twenty twenty 228 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 4: four you're really going to see a cooling off of 229 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 4: the dollar. So I believe we have done a lot 230 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 4: of creating stale plant. 231 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 14: A lot of critics do say that an expansion of bricks, though, 232 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 14: means it actually dilutes it. They cannot coalesce around anything, 233 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 14: and that actually helps the fact that the dollar remain 234 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 14: the primacy currency on the global stage. 235 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 3: I wonder. 236 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 4: I think that that is not a linear progression, right, 237 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 4: because as bricks becomes more institutionalized, you could see more 238 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 4: and more good. I mean, the real worry about bricks 239 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 4: is the movement of natural resources outside of the dollar 240 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 4: as the Global South continues to develop and pack an 241 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 4: even larger punch in the economy. You know, I think 242 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 4: that the downgrade from Fitch was largely driven by the 243 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 4: fact that there's no real backstop to spending. So here's 244 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 4: what we need, no matter who's the speaker. We need 245 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 4: a top line budget that at least in the House 246 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 4: of Representatives, returns to pre COVID spending levels. And then 247 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 4: we need to be able to have single subject spending 248 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 4: bills with open amendments, to have programmatic review of agency spending. 249 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 15: Well, Congress, well let's talk a little bit about what 250 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 15: just happened. Nobody's ever done this before. It was history 251 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 15: making the ouster of the speaker. We're told that you 252 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 15: are the least popular man in the House of Representatives, 253 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 15: or at least to the Republican Conference. In fact, just yesterday, 254 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 15: your Republican colleague from New York, Mike Lawler, suggested violence 255 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 15: against you in an interview right around this time yesterday. 256 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 15: I'd love for you to hear what he said. 257 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 3: And have you respond. Here's mister Lawler. 258 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 16: The only thing that I would have done differently is 259 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 16: flung it in the direction of one person. Look, he 260 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 16: absolutely epitomized the frustrations of the conference and the American people. 261 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 11: Is that person we need to get? 262 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: Oh? 263 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 16: Yeah, I would have hit him square between the eyes. 264 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 15: Who's going to hitch a square between the eyes with 265 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 15: the speaker's gavel? He was suggesting, Congressman, do you expect 266 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 15: to be expelled from the Republican Conference? 267 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 7: Oh? 268 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 4: I don't know. I think that that was a very 269 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 4: frustrated person who's having to come to grips with the 270 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 4: stages of grief. My mission is to ensure that the 271 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 4: House of Representatives runs better because the way we've been 272 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 4: right Washington, d C. For the last thirty years has 273 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 4: led us to a point where no one is really 274 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 4: responsible for the spending. We are backed up against shut 275 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 4: down politics. We are governed by crisis, and the biggest 276 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 4: problem is lawmakers have to take one up or down 277 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 4: vote on continuing resolutions and omnibus bills to either fund 278 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 4: or not fund the entire government that truncates the type 279 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 4: of thoughtful and serious analysis that we have to apply 280 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 4: to how the federal dollar is being spent at a 281 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 4: time like this. So I'm not much for political violence. 282 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 4: I don't want to hit anybody. If Mike Lawler comes 283 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 4: at me with a gavel, I'm not entirely sure that 284 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 4: would concern me. But that's not the direction I think 285 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 4: we ought to go. I think we ought to maybe 286 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 4: craft a budget before an attack strategy. 287 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 15: Well, you know, Kevin McCarthy says this was personal. He 288 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 15: spoke about this at length yesterday that he's seen texts, 289 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 15: he said involving an ethics probe against you. Congressman, what 290 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 15: do you know about the status of this investigation? 291 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 3: Have you been called to a peer personally? 292 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 4: No, I haven't. I've answered all the questions I've been asked, 293 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 4: and I am the most investigated man in the United 294 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 4: States Congress. I have been cleared by the FBI, the DOJ, 295 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 4: the Federal Elections Commission had a five to zero vote 296 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 4: to clear me, and the people who told vicious lies 297 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 4: about me two years ago are now sitting in federal 298 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 4: prison for being part of a criminal fraud scheme to 299 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 4: shake down my family, so I don't fear any investigation. 300 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 4: I have never asked Kevin McCarthy to assist me in 301 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,119 Speaker 4: that matter. And sometimes people try to make policy failures 302 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 4: personal because those failures are so personally embarrassing to them. 303 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 4: So when Keviny McCarthy talks about this conflict being personal, 304 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 4: I think it's more projection than a sober analysis of 305 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 4: where the house stands. 306 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 307 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 308 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 309 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on apples and anywhere else you get 310 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 2: your podcasts. 311 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 312 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 313 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine one in Washington, Bloomberg 314 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: one oh sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty 315 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. 316 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 317 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
