1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: News when you wanted with Bloomberg News. Now I'm Doug

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Prisoner in Washington, The Republican led US House has passed

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: legislation aimed at ending President Trump's tariffs on Canada. Now

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: this signals a growing anxiety over the White House's economic

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: agenda ahead of midterm elections focused heavily on affordability. Passage

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: by the House is not veto proof, meaning the vote

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: was largely symbolic and a way to get lawmakers on

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: the record for their support of these tariffs on Canadian goods.

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: Here is Bloomberg's Derek Wallbank.

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: These votes sort of represent an increase in political pressure

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: on the president to change course just months before the

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: midterm elections. They also, though, represent a big difficulty for

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: some swing district Republicans whose districts may be heavily affected

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: by tariffs, but who have to face a very real

15
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: question about whether or not they want to cross the

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: President on his signature issue That.

17
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: Was Bloomberg's Derek Wallbank. Now. Passage of this measure comes

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: President Trump privately wighs quitting the US Mexico Canada Trade

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: Pact he signed during his first term. Also today, the

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: House passed the Save America Act. This was backed by

21
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: President Trump. The bill would change voting regulations by requiring

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: proof of citizenship during voter registration. It also significantly curtails

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: mail in voting. Here is House Speaker Mike Johnson, proof.

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: Of citizenship and photo ID to vote. Everyone in the

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: country understands the necessity of that, understands how simple it

26
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 3: is and how important it is. And the only people

27
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: that oppose it are people who want to cheat our system.

28
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: That is House Speaker Mike Johnson. US Energy Secretary Chris

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: Wright is in Venezuela, where he'll make an assessment of

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: the country's oil industry. Wright met with Venezuelan's acting President,

31
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Delsi Rodriguez, and he's expected to meet with several government officials.

32
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: Wright said the US government is working to issue new

33
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: licenses to businesses who want to work in Venezuela.

34
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 4: We know that working together the people of Venezuela and

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 4: the people of the United States, this year, we can

36
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 4: drive a dramatic increase in Venezuelan oil production in Venezuelan,

37
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 4: natural gas production in Venezuelan electricity production, and most importantly

38
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 4: of all, all of these are to increase the job opportunities,

39
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 4: the wages, and the quality of life for all of

40
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 4: the Venezuelans across the country.

41
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: That is US Energy Secretary Chris Wright. President Trump is

42
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: ordering the Pentagon to purchase electricity from coal fired power

43
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: plants for military operations. Trump announced millions of dollars to

44
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: upgrade existing facilities. This includes one hundred and seventy five

45
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: million dollars to fund upgrades to six coal plants.

46
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 5: Under our leadership, we're becoming a massive energy exporter. In

47
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 5: just the past few months, we've made historic trade deals

48
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 5: with Japan, Korea, India and others to increase our coal

49
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 5: exports dramatic. We're now exporting call to all over the world,

50
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 5: and the quality of our coal is supposed to be

51
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not an expert in coal, but I've

52
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 5: been very good to the people that are. The equality

53
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 5: of our coal is supposed to be the finest anywhere

54
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 5: in the world.

55
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: Trump also said the actions would help boost coal power generation,

56
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: and the President said this would deliver in turn, lower

57
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: prices for consumers and insure industries critical to national security

58
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: had steady power supplies. Attorney General Pam Bondi was in

59
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: the hot seat today before the House Judiciary Committee, and

60
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: she was reprimanded by Democrats for using the DOJ to

61
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: target enemies of President Trump. Bondi was also criticized for

62
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: her handling of the Epstein files, including the many reactions made.

63
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: Here's an exchange between Bondi and New York Congressman Jerry Netler.

64
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 5: How many perpetrators are you even investigating?

65
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: First you showed it, I find how many have you?

66
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: Ex Excuse me, I'm going to answer the question, answer

67
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: my question. No, I'm going to answer the question the

68
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: way I want to answer the question.

69
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 5: The question.

70
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: I'm not going to get in the gutter with these people.

71
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: I'm going to answer the question, how.

72
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: Many of you now? Bondi also faced questions on President

73
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: Trump's immigration crackdown, as well as the DOJ's attempt to

74
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: gather voter data from various states. President Trump and Israeli

75
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin Netnia, who met today in Washington. Trump

76
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: said he spoke about his intention to press ahead on

77
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: talks with Iran. Trump also said his preference was to

78
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: reach a deal with the Islamic Republic, despite reservations from

79
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: the Israeli leader. Netanyahuo is pushing for limits on Iran's

80
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: ballistic missile program and its support for militant groups. Here

81
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: is Bloomberg's Catherine Lucy.

82
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 6: It's clear from the President that he is saying he said,

83
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 6: he's saying that this was a good meeting, but that

84
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 6: he wants to continue talks to see if he can

85
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 6: reach some kind of deal with Iran. And and I

86
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 6: think we know from talking to folks around the Prime

87
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 6: Minister and from our reporting there, that there is concern

88
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 6: on that side about what such a deal could look like.

89
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 6: And that's I think certainly part of the reason he

90
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 6: was here. There's concern about what kind of deal President

91
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 6: Trump might agree to, what the scope of that would be,

92
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 6: But clearly nothing decided today.

93
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg's Catherine Lucy. Meantime, the Pentagon has reportedly

94
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: told a second aircraft carrier strike group to prepare to

95
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: deploy to the Middle East as the US readies for

96
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,239
Speaker 1: a potential attack on Iran. The Wall Street Journal reports

97
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: President Trump was weighing a second carrier strike if negotiations

98
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: were to fail. Now. The deployment of a second carrier

99
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: would mark the first time there have been two carriers

100
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: in the region in nearly a year. The star of

101
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: the popular nineties teen drama series Dawson Creek has died

102
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: the family of James Vanderbeek announced his death on Instagram.

103
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, Vanderbeek revealed he was being treated

104
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: for colorectal cancer. James vander Berk Week was forty eight.

105
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: And that is news when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now,

106
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: I'm Doug Krisner and this is Bloomberg
