Markets correspondent Kritty 29 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: Gupta is here with a really long list of stocks, 30 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: starting off with Nike after the earnings. Cretty, it's interesting, 31 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: despite all the talk about recession next year, people still 32 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: want their kicks. Yeah, it looks like the analysts really 33 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: got busy this morning, which makes our jobs a little 34 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: more interesting. And k is the taker for Nike shares 35 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: up about a twelve point six percent. We'll call it thirteen. 36 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: It's coming after analysts hiking their price targets. After exactly 37 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: what you said, Nathan, a quarterly sales beat for Nike 38 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: that the robust update demonstrates the brand's strength to despite 39 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: a pretty tough macroeconomic backdrop, that is a glowing stamp 40 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: of approval if I've ever heard of one. Um So 41 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: that's going to be a crucial mover this morning and 42 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: really rewarded by the stock market, at least in the 43 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: pre market for by a lot of investors. The other 44 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: one that's getting a little bit of a boost this morning, 45 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: Tesla shares t s l A shares up about one 46 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: point three percent. This morning comes after Elon must confirmed 47 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: that he will resign as CEO of social media firm 48 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: Twitter when a successor is found. Instead, he's gonna focus 49 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: on the engineering teams of it. Remember that inverse correlation 50 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: between Twitter and Tesla still very much alive. The idea 51 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: here that if he does indeed leave Twitter, then Tesla 52 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: gets more of his attention, and that's a good thing 53 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: for that business at least has the way it's interpreted 54 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: in the market. But remember there is also a part 55 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: of the story that you need to keep an eye on, 56 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: which is reports on Tesla itself preparing for a hiring freeze. 57 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: It's coming from Electric Nathan Tesla implementing a hiring freeze 58 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: and a new round of layoffs in the first quarter 59 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: of three, once again not reported by Bloomberg, reported by 60 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: Electric but looking to not quite dent the stock games 61 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: this morning. Now we're also seeing some gains for companies 62 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: that are beating on earnings, particularly fed X. I mean, 63 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: we were going into these earnings thinking they would disappoint 64 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: and what a surprise here. Yeah, we are seeing them 65 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: rally this morning about four percent after second quarter earnings 66 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: once again beat those estimates. And remember FedEx employed a 67 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: really interesting strategy. They try to get ahead of the 68 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: hiring problem going into the holidays, really trying to say, well, 69 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: labor is important to us, We're going to get ahead 70 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: of it. And the earnings really reflected that that was 71 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: a winning strategy. They beat those analysts estimates. They also 72 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: have price increases and cost cuts that also helped um 73 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: really just kind of make it up on the bottom line, 74 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: even if you did see that dropping volume. So interesting 75 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: story out of FedEx. I'll leave you with one last one, 76 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: and that of course is going to be Starbucks, the 77 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: stock declining by eight tenths of one percent. Downgraded to 78 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: a hold over at Jeffreys. Now they are positive on 79 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: the U S restaurant area, and UH sector broadly, but 80 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: they are downgrading Starbucks just for today.

I mean absolutely, Nathan, And of course it 172 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: comes at the time as Congress is preparing to move 173 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: this major spending bill with funding for Ukraine, and there 174 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is also going to unbuild nearly two billion 175 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: dollars of assistance and announced a move to deliver a 176 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: Patriot missile battery to help Ukraine folster its defenses this winter. 177 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,239 Speaker 1: And it's just showing right now the US is ongoing 178 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: support of Ukraine. But of course, naedn we have heard 179 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: lawmakers begin a number of them, particularly on the Republican side, 180 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: to say that they are concerned about the amount of 181 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: money that is going to Ukraine, that they think it 182 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: should be better used to help them Americans. Uh, this 183 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: is not a majority of Republicans. It is a minority 184 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: at this point. But it'll be interesting to see how 185 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: Zelenski's visit today, what he says, how he employs Congress 186 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: who potentially set the stage for those future funding battles 187 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: once Republicans have control of the House. It's interesting ahead 188 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: of this visit, we're already getting reaction from the Kremlin 189 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: spokesman Dmitri Peskoff is saying that the delivery in particular 190 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: that we're expecting of Patriot missiles will only lead to 191 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: an escalation of the conflict and saying that does not 192 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: bode well for Ukraine. Could this visit potentially be a 193 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: pivot point in the war? I mean, I think it 194 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: really does remain to be seen exactly what impacts such 195 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: a visit like this is going to have. It certainly 196 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: sends a strong message about the US and Ukraine in 197 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: the relationship between the two and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 198 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: before she officially noticed everyone that this was going to happen, 199 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: she sent out a message members being like, you should 200 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: really make sure that you are here in person on 201 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: Wednesday night. We're going to have something very special on democracy. 202 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: And I think that's sort of the implications here the 203 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: roots that you're going back to the sense that the US, 204 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: you know, wants to support democracies, will continue to support 205 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: Ukraine for as long as it takes for this invasion 206 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: to be completed. And I know you've been following just 207 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: how the logistics are going about to get Zelensky out 208 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: of Ukraine into the US. What are you hearing about, 209 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: what's allowing this trip even to go forward. I mean, 210 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: it's definitely a lot of details for this flip trip 211 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: have been very closely held. It's going to not be 212 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: a very long trip. We know that, you know he's 213 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: it was announced yesterday, uh evening, about twenty four hours 214 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: before he's going to come. And usually when you have 215 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: something like that, yes, like it's a high security, high risk, 216 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: many details. And Zelenski he hasn't left Ukraine really since 217 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: he began. He's addressed Congress virtually from Ukraine, but he 218 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: has very much been there. He did tweet that he 219 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: was on the way to the US to strengthen resilience 220 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: and defense capabilities and that he and Biden with discuss 221 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: cooperation between the Ukraine and the US. Now, the other 222 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: big stories if that weren't enough of a big story 223 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. We're waiting to get the public 224 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: release of former President Donald Trump's tax returns. This is 225 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: something that the former president has literally been fighting for 226 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: years to avoid. Yes, and Democrats are getting it right. 227 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,359 Speaker 1: Is there about to lose control of the House to Republicans, 228 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: so they had to move on this. Although some Democrats 229 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: are upset about how long it has taken, but the 230 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: big music, of course, yesterday Committee voted to release Donald 231 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: Trump tax information to the public, and the three years 232 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: saga over this fight UM and where the Committee voted, 233 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: we are going to see some redactions being made, so 234 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: the documents aren't going to be coming out right away, 235 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: but it's going to bring into some questions of several 236 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: things that Trump has done with his taxes, UM, the 237 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: validity of several deductions that Trump has trying to make 238 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: unsubstantial charitable donations, and of course I think something a 239 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: lot of folks have been interested in how his businesses 240 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: are doing and how many taxes did he pay UM, 241 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: And certainly those are all questions that that people are 242 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: going to be paying a close attention to. UM. But 243 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what Republicans do once they 244 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: get into the majority in the House next year. Kevin Brady, 245 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: who's retiring but is currently the committee's top Republican, said 246 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: that Democrats are making a mistake releasing the tax returns, 247 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: and this is a precedent that gives Republicans a lot 248 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: more room to go after and to look at what 249 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: Biden and future Democratic presidents do. All right, So we'll 250 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: be looking for those fuller details, and of course we'll 251 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: be watching very closely later on this afternoon when we 252 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: do expect the arrival first time outside the country for 253 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: Ukrainian President Vladimir's lenskin.

Lindsay, good morning. This visit is going 314 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: to be dramatic, I'm sure, only for a few hours 315 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: in the nation's capital, and it's coming at a time 316 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: when the support for Ukraine, particularly from Congress, maybe a 317 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: little bit shaky. Is that part of the reason why 318 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: President Zelenski is making this trip. Good morning, Nathan, and 319 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: thank you for having me on. I couldn't agree more 320 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: that this is a historic moment. We we really cannot 321 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: overstate the significance of this trip. We've all seen and heard. 322 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: Of course President Zelinsky make addresses before the UN Security Council, 323 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: of the European Parliament and even US Congress, but today 324 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: he will actually be there in person. It's the first 325 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: time he will have less physically less Ukraine since Russia 326 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: invaded on the death We've now just crossed through the 327 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: day mark into the conflict, and that's really what the 328 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: trip is about. It's ensuring that the US and Ukraine 329 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: remain united. That's what Biden's message will be. The Lensky's 330 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: message is of course going to be about resources and 331 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: and support. So unity but in the form of resources 332 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: and support. And we're hearing anything that this comes with 333 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: Biden's expecting to announce an additional two billion insecurity assistance 334 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: to Ukraine during the visit itself. What what's the level 335 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: of support that you're forecasting from the US for Ukraine 336 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: going forward when we do have a new Congress coming in, 337 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: a new Republican majority in the House of Representatives. Biden's 338 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: message has been that America will be there for Ukraine 339 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: for as long as it as long as it takes. 340 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: This is what they this is what the White House 341 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: was saying just yesterday, and it's pre meeting notes.

There is 344 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: a sense from the administration that this remains a bipartisan support. Sure. 345 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: Right before the election, we saw, for example, um, some 346 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: some Republicans suggesting that they could rethink funding for for 347 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: Ukraine should they win Congress, that win in both the 348 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: House and then and of course we know where the 349 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: election lands. But since then there has been this committed commitment, 350 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: this commitment to bipartisan support, and we have of course 351 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: the funding bill, the omnibus bill that was proposed UM 352 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: and released revealed yesterday, which would include forty five billion 353 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: and an additional aid for Ukraine and Bernato as part 354 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: of the one point six five spending utrillion spending bill 355 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: for fiscal Of course, that will require bipartisan support, which 356 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: remains to be seen.

There have been 402 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: some questions about really where House Republicans come down in 403 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: the firmness of their support for Ukraine. To have a 404 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: joint addressed to Congress and in person addressed especially, would 405 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: be a very significant moment at a pivotal time, because 406 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: these kinds of agreements are going to be a bit 407 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: more difficult when it's a Republican House and a Democratic Senate. 408 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Government's Jack Fitzpatrick reports at President Biden plans to 409 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: announce two billion dollars in assistance to Ukraine.

The following is an 542 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: editorial from Bloomberg Opinion. This editorial was written by the 543 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Editorial Board. This week, the House committee investigating the 544 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: January six riot referred former President Donald Trump for criminal prosecution. 545 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,719 Speaker 1: It was an unsurprising move, but lamentable. Nonetheless, there's no 546 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: question that the committee, made up of seven Democrats and 547 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: two Republicans, found evidence that Trump behaved abominably that day. 548 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: By any standard, his actions were in affront to the 549 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: Constitution and to the rule of law. Yet whether they 550 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: merit criminal prosecution is another matter. The referral risks elevating 551 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: Trump in the eyes of Republican voters and a moment 552 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: when many seem prepared to cast him aside. The House 553 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: Committee has done an admirable job of documenting Trump's reprehensible 554 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: conduct on January six. The faster the country can put 555 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: those sordid events in the past, the better. This editorial 556 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: was written by the Bloomberg Editorial Board.

Nathan, all right, Karen, 605 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: we'll get back to markets in a moment, but we 606 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: begin with a couple of major stories in politics. First, 607 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: Ukrainian President Voladimir z Lensky is leaving Ukraine for the 608 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: first time since Russia's invasion. He'll address Congress in person 609 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: in the nation's capital. Bloomberg Government reporter Jack Fitzpatrick says 610 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: it is a big moment in the debate over aid 611 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: to the war torn country. It's the big deal. There 612 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: have been some questions about really where House Republicans come 613 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: down in the firmness of their support for Ukraine. To 614 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: have a joy addressed to Congress and in person addressed especially, 615 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: would be a very significant moment at a pivotal time, 616 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 1: because these kinds of agreements are going to be a 617 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: bit more difficult when it's a Republican House and a 618 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: Democratic Senate. So any sort of show of unity with 619 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: him there would be a very significant thing. The Bloomberg 620 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: government's Jack Fitzpatrick reports President Biden will also announce an 621 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 1: additional two billion dollars in assistance and moves to deliver 622 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: Patriot missile batteries to Ukraine. Meantime, Nathan Donald Trump's tax 623 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: returns are back in focus. A House committee is voted 624 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: to officially release the former president's tax information to the public, 625 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: and Bloomberg's Amy Morris says the details from our studios 626 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: in Washington. The Houseways and Means Committee signed off on 627 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: a motion to release Trump's tax returns to the House 628 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: of Representatives. Chairman Richard Neil says personal information will be redacted. 629 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: This was not about being punitive, it was not about 630 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: being malicious, and there were no leaks from the committee. 631 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: The analysis found Trump was able to use questionable deductions 632 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: and aggressive tax strategies to minimize his tax bills, and 633 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: that the I r S did not audit Trump for 634 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: two years while he was in office, despite a program 635 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: that makes the auditing of sitting president's mandatory. Republicans say 636 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: releasing the information sets a dangerous precedent in Washington. I'm 637 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: anymore as Bloomberg Daybreak, right, Amy, thank you. Now, let's 638 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: turned to Elon Musk and the latest in his sanka 639 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: as head of Twitter.

It did 648 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 1: find Facebook a record five billion dollars over the Cambridge 649 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 1: Analytica data scandal.

So 825 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: we we know that President Zolinsky will be arriving in 826 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: at the White House UH and meeting President Biden at 827 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 1: two o'clock this afternoon. He'll be meeting with members of 828 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: the Cabinet as well as the President's and atal security team. 829 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a press conference at four thirty, and 830 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,840 Speaker 1: then there's going to be a speech by President Zlinsky 831 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,319 Speaker 1: to a joint session of Congress. UM. He has given 832 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: a speech to Congress before. He gave a virtual one 833 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 1: early this year, UM, just a few weeks after the 834 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,759 Speaker 1: Russians began their invasion of Ukraine this year. UH, this 835 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,719 Speaker 1: of course is going to be in person, a lot 836 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 1: of a lot of pomp and UH quite a lot 837 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:42,320 Speaker 1: of symbolism. UH. He'll have a chance to UH lobby 838 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:47,399 Speaker 1: in person, UM make direct appeals. First additional aid to Ukraine. UH. 839 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: Congress is poised to approve forty five billion dollars in 840 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 1: new aid for Ukraine. That's part of the omnibus spending 841 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 1: bill that Congress is likely to pass in the next 842 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 1: few days. President Biden is also going to be announcing 843 00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 1: additional assistance for Ukraine today, including UH Patrion air defense system, 844 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 1: something that Ukraine really wants UH, given the persistent attacks 845 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 1: by Russian missiles by Russian drones against civilian targets against 846 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:23,720 Speaker 1: the energy grid, against Ukrainian infrastructure. Uh. So the Ukrainians 847 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: field that having the Patriot Air Defense System could really 848 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,919 Speaker 1: make a big difference there. Yeah, so a lot more 849 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,800 Speaker 1: aid coming to Ukraine. And to your point, that first 850 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: address that the President Zelinski gave virtually to Congress early 851 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 1: in the war came at a time when there seemed 852 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 1: to have been a lot more unanimity, a lot more 853 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:44,359 Speaker 1: by partisanship around the idea of providing weapons and humanitarian 854 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 1: support to Ukraine. It feels as though now when we 855 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 1: have a new Congress coming in, a new Republican majority 856 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 1: in the House, that unanimity might be fraying somewhat. You're 857 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: you're right there. There are some members of the incoming 858 00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: Republican majority who have been been pretty outspoken criticism of Ukraine, 859 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 1: most notably Marjorie Taylor Green, the congressman from Georgia. She 860 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: has just now called Zelinski um the shadow president of 861 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:16,840 Speaker 1: the US and referred to Ukraine as the fifty first state. Um. Uh. 862 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:22,240 Speaker 1: You've also seen comments from Kevin McCarthy um, the the 863 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,800 Speaker 1: Republican leader in the House who is hoping to become 864 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 1: the speaker. Uh. In the next session. Uh, he's avowed 865 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 1: no more blank checks for Ukraine. That said, Uh, there 866 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:38,760 Speaker 1: have been supportive comments from Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader 867 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 1: in the Senate. UM, and it does seem that there 868 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 1: is still strong bipartisan support for Ukraine, albeit with some 869 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 1: notable exceptions. The other big development, of course in Washington 870 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 1: is the House Ways and Means Committee, Democrats in particular, 871 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 1: voting to release former President Donald Trump's tax returns. Of course, 872 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 1: this is something the former president had been fighting for years. 873 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,640 Speaker 1: Is from what's been released so far, Bruce, what stands 874 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: out to you? So you're right. This is a saga 875 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 1: that has been going on since two thousand and nineteen. 876 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: Former President Trump fought it in the courts. UM. Almost 877 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,720 Speaker 1: ran out the clock here. But UM, just shortly before 878 00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 1: the Democrats lose control of the House, they they not 879 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,640 Speaker 1: only have the returns, but they have voted to release them. Um. 880 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 1: They haven't released them yet. There's still some redactions that 881 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 1: need to be done. UM. What we have heard so 882 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 1: far is about the report from the Joint Committee on 883 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:36,439 Speaker 1: Taxation that's Congress's group of nonpartisan tax lawyers. UM. And 884 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:42,720 Speaker 1: that report highlights items in the tax returns while Trump 885 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,480 Speaker 1: was president, while Trump was in the White House that 886 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 1: they said should have been red flags for auditors to 887 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,839 Speaker 1: look more UH, to look more carefully at the at 888 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 1: at the returns to UM, to apply more scrutiny. UM. 889 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 1: Richard Neil, the chairman of the Way the Means Committee, 890 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 1: has said that there wasn't enough work done. That the 891 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,840 Speaker 1: audits which are required by the RS for presidents and 892 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:13,239 Speaker 1: vice presidents were perfunctory at best. UM. And he's now 893 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 1: introduced He says he's going to introduce a bill that 894 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,719 Speaker 1: would require the RS to to do their audits within 895 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 1: ninety days. Of course, there's almost no time left in 896 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,600 Speaker 1: this Congress, so that probably isn't gonna go anywhere. UM. 897 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 1: Kevin Brady, the top Republican on the committee, did warn 898 00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 1: that what the Democrats have done sets a dangerous precedent UH, 899 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,680 Speaker 1: and Republicans are going to be in charge in just 900 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 1: a few weeks, so it's part Bruce, we gotta leave 901 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,759 Speaker 1: it there for now.
