0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>a Bloomberg business flash, Nathan. All right, Karen, thank you

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>to six fifty six on Wall Street Bloomberg surveillances. Next,

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>first we take a look at the stocks moving in

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the pre market. Bloomberg Radio on TV. Markets correspondent Kritty

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Gupta is here with a really long list of stocks,

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:38.759
<v Speaker 1>starting off with Nike after the earnings. Cretty, it's interesting,

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>despite all the talk about recession next year, people still

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>want their kicks. Yeah, it looks like the analysts really

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>got busy this morning, which makes our jobs a little

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>more interesting. And k is the taker for Nike shares

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 1>up about a twelve point six percent. We'll call it thirteen.

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>It's coming after analysts hiking their price targets. After exactly

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>what you said, Nathan, a quarterly sales beat for Nike

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>that the robust update demonstrates the brand's strength to despite

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>a pretty tough macroeconomic backdrop, that is a glowing stamp

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>of approval if I've ever heard of one. Um So

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be a crucial mover this morning and

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>really rewarded by the stock market, at least in the

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 1>pre market for by a lot of investors. The other

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>one that's getting a little bit of a boost this morning,

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Tesla shares t s l A shares up about one

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>point three percent. This morning comes after Elon must confirmed

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>that he will resign as CEO of social media firm

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Twitter when a successor is found. Instead, he's gonna focus

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 1>on the engineering teams of it. Remember that inverse correlation

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>between Twitter and Tesla still very much alive. The idea

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>here that if he does indeed leave Twitter, then Tesla

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>gets more of his attention, and that's a good thing

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>for that business at least has the way it's interpreted

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>in the market. But remember there is also a part

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>of the story that you need to keep an eye on,

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 1>which is reports on Tesla itself preparing for a hiring freeze.

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 1>It's coming from Electric Nathan Tesla implementing a hiring freeze

0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and a new round of layoffs in the first quarter

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 1>of three, once again not reported by Bloomberg, reported by

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>Electric but looking to not quite dent the stock games

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>this morning. Now we're also seeing some gains for companies

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 1>that are beating on earnings, particularly fed X. I mean,

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 1>we were going into these earnings thinking they would disappoint

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and what a surprise here. Yeah, we are seeing them

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>rally this morning about four percent after second quarter earnings

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>once again beat those estimates. And remember FedEx employed a

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>really interesting strategy. They try to get ahead of the

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>hiring problem going into the holidays, really trying to say, well,

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 1>labor is important to us, We're going to get ahead

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 1>of it. And the earnings really reflected that that was

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>a winning strategy. They beat those analysts estimates. They also

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>have price increases and cost cuts that also helped um

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>really just kind of make it up on the bottom line,

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>even if you did see that dropping volume. So interesting

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>story out of FedEx. I'll leave you with one last one,

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>and that of course is going to be Starbucks, the

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>stock declining by eight tenths of one percent. Downgraded to

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>a hold over at Jeffreys. Now they are positive on

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>the U S restaurant area, and UH sector broadly, but

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>they are downgrading Starbucks just for today. Okay, Bloomberg Radio

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and TV Markets correspondent Credi Gupta, I will see you

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>while President Biden offers billions more dollars and Patriot missiles.

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.559
<v Speaker 1>Also making news in the nation's capital, former President Trump's

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.559
<v Speaker 1>tax returns to be released after Democrats voted in that

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 1>favor in the House, and the Biden administration urging the

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court to allow pandemic border restrictions to end. Bloomber

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Government reporter Emily Wilkins was one of the reporters who

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>actually broke the news that Zelenski will be coming to Washington,

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>d C. Today, So pleased to say Emily is live

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 1>with us now. Emily, good morning. Quite a message that

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.599
<v Speaker 1>this first trip outside Ukraine for Zelenski is to the

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>nation's capital. I mean absolutely, Nathan, And of course it

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 1>comes at the time as Congress is preparing to move

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.320
<v Speaker 1>this major spending bill with funding for Ukraine, and there

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden is also going to unbuild nearly two billion

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>dollars of assistance and announced a move to deliver a

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Patriot missile battery to help Ukraine folster its defenses this winter.

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.239
<v Speaker 1>And it's just showing right now the US is ongoing

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.680
<v Speaker 1>support of Ukraine. But of course, naedn we have heard

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>lawmakers begin a number of them, particularly on the Republican side,

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 1>to say that they are concerned about the amount of

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 1>money that is going to Ukraine, that they think it

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 1>should be better used to help them Americans. Uh, this

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>is not a majority of Republicans. It is a minority

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>at this point. But it'll be interesting to see how

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Zelenski's visit today, what he says, how he employs Congress

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 1>who potentially set the stage for those future funding battles

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>once Republicans have control of the House. It's interesting ahead

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>of this visit, we're already getting reaction from the Kremlin

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>spokesman Dmitri Peskoff is saying that the delivery in particular

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>that we're expecting of Patriot missiles will only lead to

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>an escalation of the conflict and saying that does not

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.439
<v Speaker 1>bode well for Ukraine. Could this visit potentially be a

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>pivot point in the war? I mean, I think it

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>really does remain to be seen exactly what impacts such

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 1>a visit like this is going to have. It certainly

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>sends a strong message about the US and Ukraine in

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the relationship between the two and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.079
<v Speaker 1>before she officially noticed everyone that this was going to happen,

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 1>she sent out a message members being like, you should

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>really make sure that you are here in person on

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday night. We're going to have something very special on democracy.

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's sort of the implications here the

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.560
<v Speaker 1>roots that you're going back to the sense that the US,

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, wants to support democracies, will continue to support

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine for as long as it takes for this invasion

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 1>to be completed. And I know you've been following just

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 1>how the logistics are going about to get Zelensky out

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 1>of Ukraine into the US. What are you hearing about,

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>what's allowing this trip even to go forward. I mean,

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.560
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely a lot of details for this flip trip

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.200
<v Speaker 1>have been very closely held. It's going to not be

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.439
<v Speaker 1>a very long trip. We know that, you know he's

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 1>it was announced yesterday, uh evening, about twenty four hours

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 1>before he's going to come. And usually when you have

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 1>something like that, yes, like it's a high security, high risk,

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>many details. And Zelenski he hasn't left Ukraine really since

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:02.199
<v Speaker 1>he began. He's addressed Congress virtually from Ukraine, but he

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.280
<v Speaker 1>has very much been there. He did tweet that he

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 1>was on the way to the US to strengthen resilience

0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and defense capabilities and that he and Biden with discuss

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>cooperation between the Ukraine and the US. Now, the other

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>big stories if that weren't enough of a big story

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>in Washington, d C. We're waiting to get the public

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>release of former President Donald Trump's tax returns. This is

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 1>something that the former president has literally been fighting for

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 1>years to avoid. Yes, and Democrats are getting it right.

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Is there about to lose control of the House to Republicans,

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>so they had to move on this. Although some Democrats

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>are upset about how long it has taken, but the

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 1>big music, of course, yesterday Committee voted to release Donald

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump tax information to the public, and the three years

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.839
<v Speaker 1>saga over this fight UM and where the Committee voted,

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>we are going to see some redactions being made, so

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the documents aren't going to be coming out right away,

0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>but it's going to bring into some questions of several

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 1>things that Trump has done with his taxes, UM, the

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 1>validity of several deductions that Trump has trying to make

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 1>unsubstantial charitable donations, and of course I think something a

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.319
<v Speaker 1>lot of folks have been interested in how his businesses

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:15.080
<v Speaker 1>are doing and how many taxes did he pay UM,

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>And certainly those are all questions that that people are

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.680
<v Speaker 1>going to be paying a close attention to. UM. But

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>it'll be interesting to see what Republicans do once they

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.560
<v Speaker 1>get into the majority in the House next year. Kevin Brady,

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.720
<v Speaker 1>who's retiring but is currently the committee's top Republican, said

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 1>that Democrats are making a mistake releasing the tax returns,

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and this is a precedent that gives Republicans a lot

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>more room to go after and to look at what

0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Biden and future Democratic presidents do. All right, So we'll

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 1>be looking for those fuller details, and of course we'll

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.080
<v Speaker 1>be watching very closely later on this afternoon when we

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 1>do expect the arrival first time outside the country for

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainian President Vladimir's lenskin. He's going to be spending a

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>few hours today in Washington, d C. Lots for Bloomberg

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 1>A House committee voted to release former President Trump's tax

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>returns to the public. So far, we have learned of

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 1>dozens of audit triggers. According to Congress's top nonpartisan tax lawyers,

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 1>there are questionable private jet expenses and large, unsubstantiated charitable deductions.

<v Speaker 1>This is Bloomberg Daybreak on what will be a historic

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 1>day in the nation's capital with President Vlada Merrit Zelensky

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.360
<v Speaker 1>of Ukraine heading to Washington. I want to get more

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>now on this. We're joined live by Lindsay Newman. She's

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the executive director of Economics and Country Risk at SMP

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Global Market Intelligence. Lindsay, good morning. This visit is going

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>to be dramatic, I'm sure, only for a few hours

0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.159
<v Speaker 1>in the nation's capital, and it's coming at a time

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:27.919
<v Speaker 1>when the support for Ukraine, particularly from Congress, maybe a

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit shaky. Is that part of the reason why

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:35.119
<v Speaker 1>President Zelenski is making this trip. Good morning, Nathan, and

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 1>thank you for having me on. I couldn't agree more

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 1>that this is a historic moment. We we really cannot

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.320
<v Speaker 1>overstate the significance of this trip. We've all seen and heard.

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Of course President Zelinsky make addresses before the UN Security Council,

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>of the European Parliament and even US Congress, but today

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.760
<v Speaker 1>he will actually be there in person. It's the first

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.439
<v Speaker 1>time he will have less physically less Ukraine since Russia

0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 1>invaded on the death We've now just crossed through the

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 1>day mark into the conflict, and that's really what the

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.880
<v Speaker 1>trip is about. It's ensuring that the US and Ukraine

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:12.160
<v Speaker 1>remain united. That's what Biden's message will be. The Lensky's

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.960
<v Speaker 1>message is of course going to be about resources and

0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 1>and support. So unity but in the form of resources

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>and support. And we're hearing anything that this comes with

0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Biden's expecting to announce an additional two billion insecurity assistance

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:31.400
<v Speaker 1>to Ukraine during the visit itself. What what's the level

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.200
<v Speaker 1>of support that you're forecasting from the US for Ukraine

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 1>going forward when we do have a new Congress coming in,

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 1>a new Republican majority in the House of Representatives. Biden's

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.080
<v Speaker 1>message has been that America will be there for Ukraine

0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 1>for as long as it as long as it takes.

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 1>This is what they this is what the White House

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>was saying just yesterday, and it's pre meeting notes. So

0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 1>from the top, the ambition, the intention is to remain

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 1>committed to Ukraine's as long as it takes. There is

0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 1>a sense from the administration that this remains a bipartisan support. Sure.

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Right before the election, we saw, for example, um, some

0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 1>some Republicans suggesting that they could rethink funding for for

0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine should they win Congress, that win in both the

0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 1>House and then and of course we know where the

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:25.960
<v Speaker 1>election lands. But since then there has been this committed commitment,

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 1>this commitment to bipartisan support, and we have of course

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.200
<v Speaker 1>the funding bill, the omnibus bill that was proposed UM

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and released revealed yesterday, which would include forty five billion

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and an additional aid for Ukraine and Bernato as part

0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 1>of the one point six five spending utrillion spending bill

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:48.120
<v Speaker 1>for fiscal Of course, that will require bipartisan support, which

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 1>remains to be seen. UM. And we are in the

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.879
<v Speaker 1>moment of the Lane Duck session, just about thirty seconds

0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:57.680
<v Speaker 1>left here, lindsay, could the delivery of Patriot missile, something

0:19:57.720 --> 0:19:59.919
<v Speaker 1>that the Ukrainian president has been asking for for mon

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:06.280
<v Speaker 1>be a pivot point in this war. It's a it's

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.359
<v Speaker 1>a great question, I mean, V. Lindsey has been asking

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 1>for this, and now we are hearing that, in fact

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration is going to deliver on on those

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:18.960
<v Speaker 1>on those Patriot missiles. They will come with training, and

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 1>the US remained committed to increasing the training four troops

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:23.879
<v Speaker 1>who are going to need to be able to deploy

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and use that mental Thank you, Lindsey, good having you

0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:16.560
<v Speaker 1>is leaving Ukraine for the first time since Russia's invasion

0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:20.639
<v Speaker 1>to address Congress in person in the nation's capital. Bloomberg

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.879
<v Speaker 1>Government reporter Jack Fitzpatrick says it's a big moment in

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the debate over aid to the country. There have been

0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 1>some questions about really where House Republicans come down in

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the firmness of their support for Ukraine. To have a

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 1>joint addressed to Congress and in person addressed especially, would

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:40.800
<v Speaker 1>be a very significant moment at a pivotal time, because

0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:42.400
<v Speaker 1>these kinds of agreements are going to be a bit

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.879
<v Speaker 1>more difficult when it's a Republican House and a Democratic Senate.

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Government's Jack Fitzpatrick reports at President Biden plans to

0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:53.119
<v Speaker 1>announce two billion dollars in assistance to Ukraine. The meantime,

0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Karen a House committee has voted to officially release former

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:59.040
<v Speaker 1>President Donald Trump's tax information to the public. The actual

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 1>returns will come out of a few days. The analysis

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.680
<v Speaker 1>so far shows Trump used questionable deductions and aggressive tax

0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 1>strategies to minimize his bills. On Outo Elon Musk Nathan,

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the head of Twitter, says he'll step down as CEO

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:12.399
<v Speaker 1>when a replacement is found, and this comes as the

0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:16.160
<v Speaker 1>FTC deepens its investigation into Twitter's use of user data.

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:19.040

<v Speaker 1>Bankman freed on a private flight back to the US

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:47.120
<v Speaker 1>after he signs a waiver of extradition in court. Yesterday,

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Bankman Freed signed his surrender documents, paving the wake of

<v Speaker 1>of Nassaustin's. The judge denied his request for bail. The

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 1>possibility of making b here reportedly played a role in

0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:05.080

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:03.680
<v Speaker 1>New York City police are investigating an apparent accident that

0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 1>happened in the subway in Manhattan. Authorities say the victims

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:09.240
<v Speaker 1>of forty four year old man and a sixty three

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:11.680
<v Speaker 1>year old woman had been hit by an L train

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:15.800
<v Speaker 1>but the conductors of two subsequent trains did not notice

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the victims and also struck them. This woman was at

0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the Sixth Avenue stop. New Yorkers were tough. We don't

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 1>care a lot about but it's like sometimes, you know,

0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:28.160
<v Speaker 1>it takes a little time just to like pay attention

0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:31.919
<v Speaker 1>to something. Officials don't believe the victims were connected, and

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:34.840
<v Speaker 1>mt A agent shot a man who was following him

0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 1>and his work partner to a Brooklyn subway station last night.

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:41.160
<v Speaker 1>According to ABC seven, it's believed the on duty agent

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:43.679
<v Speaker 1>was guarding his partner, who was removing money from a

0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:47.080
<v Speaker 1>machine at the Atlantic Avenue Barclay Center station when the

0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:50.440
<v Speaker 1>incident occurred. A last minute plea from New York City

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Mayor Eric Adams as holiday travelers continued to arrive, even

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:58.480
<v Speaker 1>as flu, RSV and COVID cases continued to rise nationwide

0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:02.240
<v Speaker 1>this year, particularly around the flu. From the from the

0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:06.440
<v Speaker 1>briefing we receive, the numbers are higher than this traditionally

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>is around this year, and when you combine it with

0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the other elements that we're facing, the other rs VS,

0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:16.320
<v Speaker 1>COVID nineteen and just make it extremely challenging for New

0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:20.360
<v Speaker 1>York Mayor Adams encourages people to mask up and crowded places.

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:23.680
<v Speaker 1>The Taliban has renegged on a promise they made when

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:26.920
<v Speaker 1>they took over Afghanistan in August of last year. They

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:29.399
<v Speaker 1>now say women will no longer be allowed to attend

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:33.359
<v Speaker 1>public or private universities. The State Department's ned price. The

0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:43.800

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:47.879

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:25.239

<v Speaker 1>are some of the stories our hundred Bloomberg journalists and

0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:44.640
<v Speaker 1>analyst are working on this morning, around the world at

0:29:44.720 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 1>six thirty six on Wall Street. The following is an

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 1>editorial from Bloomberg Opinion. This editorial was written by the

0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Editorial Board. This week, the House committee investigating the

0:29:56.000 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 1>January six riot referred former President Donald Trump for criminal prosecution.

0:30:01.400 --> 0:30:05.719
<v Speaker 1>It was an unsurprising move, but lamentable. Nonetheless, there's no

0:30:05.800 --> 0:30:08.400
<v Speaker 1>question that the committee, made up of seven Democrats and

0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 1>two Republicans, found evidence that Trump behaved abominably that day.

0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 1>By any standard, his actions were in affront to the

0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Constitution and to the rule of law. Yet whether they

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:23.200
<v Speaker 1>merit criminal prosecution is another matter. The referral risks elevating

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump in the eyes of Republican voters and a moment

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 1>when many seem prepared to cast him aside. The House

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Committee has done an admirable job of documenting Trump's reprehensible

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 1>conduct on January six. The faster the country can put

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:38.800
<v Speaker 1>those sordid events in the past, the better. This editorial

0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>was written by the Bloomberg Editorial Board. For more Bloomberg opinion,

0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:32.320
<v Speaker 1>we'll get back to markets in a moment, but we

0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:35.520
<v Speaker 1>begin with a couple of major stories in politics. First,

0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainian President Voladimir z Lensky is leaving Ukraine for the

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:43.200
<v Speaker 1>first time since Russia's invasion. He'll address Congress in person

0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:47.080
<v Speaker 1>in the nation's capital. Bloomberg Government reporter Jack Fitzpatrick says

0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:49.240
<v Speaker 1>it is a big moment in the debate over aid

0:33:49.440 --> 0:33:52.120
<v Speaker 1>to the war torn country. It's the big deal. There

0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 1>have been some questions about really where House Republicans come

0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 1>down in the firmness of their support for Ukraine. To

0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 1>have a joy addressed to Congress and in person addressed especially,

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:06.720
<v Speaker 1>would be a very significant moment at a pivotal time,

0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:08.800
<v Speaker 1>because these kinds of agreements are going to be a

0:34:08.840 --> 0:34:11.360
<v Speaker 1>bit more difficult when it's a Republican House and a

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Senate. So any sort of show of unity with

0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 1>him there would be a very significant thing. The Bloomberg

0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:19.960
<v Speaker 1>government's Jack Fitzpatrick reports President Biden will also announce an

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:23.320
<v Speaker 1>additional two billion dollars in assistance and moves to deliver

0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Patriot missile batteries to Ukraine. Meantime, Nathan Donald Trump's tax

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:30.480
<v Speaker 1>returns are back in focus. A House committee is voted

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:34.400
<v Speaker 1>to officially release the former president's tax information to the public,

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and Bloomberg's Amy Morris says the details from our studios

0:34:38.080 --> 0:34:40.880
<v Speaker 1>in Washington. The Houseways and Means Committee signed off on

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:43.279
<v Speaker 1>a motion to release Trump's tax returns to the House

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:47.400
<v Speaker 1>of Representatives. Chairman Richard Neil says personal information will be redacted.

0:34:47.600 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 1>This was not about being punitive, it was not about

0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:53.400
<v Speaker 1>being malicious, and there were no leaks from the committee.

0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 1>The analysis found Trump was able to use questionable deductions

0:34:56.680 --> 0:35:00.160
<v Speaker 1>and aggressive tax strategies to minimize his tax bills, and

0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:02.239
<v Speaker 1>that the I r S did not audit Trump for

0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:05.160
<v Speaker 1>two years while he was in office, despite a program

0:35:05.200 --> 0:35:09.000
<v Speaker 1>that makes the auditing of sitting president's mandatory. Republicans say

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:12.799
<v Speaker 1>releasing the information sets a dangerous precedent in Washington. I'm

0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 1>anymore as Bloomberg Daybreak, right, Amy, thank you. Now, let's

0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:17.840
<v Speaker 1>turned to Elon Musk and the latest in his sanka

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:20.200
<v Speaker 1>as head of Twitter. Musk now says he will step

0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:23.279
<v Speaker 1>down a CEO and a replacement is found, Bloomberg said,

0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 1>backs to reports. This comes as the FTC deepens its

0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:30.160
<v Speaker 1>investigation into Twitter's use of user data. The Federal Trade

0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Commission has interviewed two former senior executives of Twitter already

0:35:34.000 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 1>regarding privacy and data security. Now practices is the issue,

0:35:38.880 --> 0:35:41.919
<v Speaker 1>and whether it's complying with a twenty eleven consent order.

0:35:41.960 --> 0:35:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Since Ellen Musk has taken over, the FTC has shown

0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:47.799
<v Speaker 1>it as not afraid to levy hefty fines. It did

0:35:47.840 --> 0:35:51.320
<v Speaker 1>find Facebook a record five billion dollars over the Cambridge

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Analytica data scandal. This can't be welcome news from Musk,

0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:58.319
<v Speaker 1>who has fired many of his oversight team and attorneys. Musk,

0:35:58.400 --> 0:36:00.799
<v Speaker 1>by the way, says he will oversee of the software

0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and servers teams in San Francisco. I'm at Baxter Bloomberg

<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Nathan and Karen. SPF is halfway through the

0:36:42.360 --> 0:36:45.800
<v Speaker 1>process of returning to the US, having signed his surrender documents.

0:36:45.800 --> 0:36:49.280
<v Speaker 1>According to the Islands Acting Commissioner of Corrections, today Bankman

0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Freed will sign a waiver of extradition before FBI agents

0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:54.880
<v Speaker 1>are expected to take him away on a private flight.

0:36:55.239 --> 0:36:57.879
<v Speaker 1>Bankman Freed initially vowed to fight extradition to the US

0:36:57.920 --> 0:37:00.360
<v Speaker 1>to face fraud and other charges related to the collapse

0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:02.680

<v Speaker 1>Live in New York Time Steve Rapp Report, Bloomberg Day

0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:09.839
<v Speaker 1>Break All right, Steve, Thanks so taking a look at

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:13.800
<v Speaker 1>markets now. European shares are advancing alongside US stock index futures.

0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday saw the S and P five hundred clothes higher

0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:18.680
<v Speaker 1>for the first time in four sessions. Equities have been

0:37:18.719 --> 0:37:20.920
<v Speaker 1>on a recent sched due to concerns of our central

0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:23.960
<v Speaker 1>bank tightening. Yeah. Speaking of central banks, Karen, this week's

0:37:23.960 --> 0:37:26.759
<v Speaker 1>move from the Bank of Japan continues to reverberate. The

0:37:26.960 --> 0:37:29.960
<v Speaker 1>end is steady this morning after yesterday's strong move, which

0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:33.839
<v Speaker 1>saw the currency strengthen the most since. Takeing a look

0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:36.080
<v Speaker 1>at the end right now, it's at one one point

0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:39.520
<v Speaker 1>seven six against the dollar. Bloomberg Opinion columnists muhammadhil Arian

0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:43.080
<v Speaker 1>says the BOJ move provides some stability, but also carries risk.

0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:46.719
<v Speaker 1>This is the spectables normalization. The good news for them

0:37:46.760 --> 0:37:49.080
<v Speaker 1>is I think that can control the process. That's actually

0:37:49.160 --> 0:37:53.040
<v Speaker 1>good news for global markets because it doesn'tenforce selling by

0:37:53.120 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Japanese institutions. However, over time even this approach becomes unsustainable.

0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Opinion colum miss muhammadal Arean expects a slow exit

0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:04.480
<v Speaker 1>from what he calls the b o J is unsustainable

0:38:04.520 --> 0:38:08.080
<v Speaker 1>policy regime. Let's sturn to China. Now, Nathan has continued

0:38:08.120 --> 0:38:11.840
<v Speaker 1>pivot away from COVID zero policy. Chinese workers of mild

0:38:11.880 --> 0:38:13.879
<v Speaker 1>COVID are now being told to go back to work

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:16.760
<v Speaker 1>in some cities. This is Chinese officials seek to limit

0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the economic impact of an explosion in cases Beijing. Shift

0:38:20.320 --> 0:38:22.799
<v Speaker 1>from COVID zero has been accompanied by a wave of

0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:27.239
<v Speaker 1>infections in major urban centers across the country. Again, futures

0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:29.799

0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:32.480

<v Speaker 1>NASAC futures up forty seven points or four tenths of

0:39:04.560 --> 0:39:06.680
<v Speaker 1>in New York and around the world. Good morning, Michael,

0:39:06.760 --> 0:39:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Good morning Nathan. NYPD officials are investigating an apparent deadly

0:39:10.560 --> 0:39:14.120
<v Speaker 1>accident that took place in the subway in Manhattan. Two

0:39:14.120 --> 0:39:18.319
<v Speaker 1>people were run over by several l trains yesterday. The

0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:20.880
<v Speaker 1>victims were a forty four year old man and a

0:39:20.920 --> 0:39:24.800
<v Speaker 1>sixty three year old woman. It left several horrified commuters

0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:27.000
<v Speaker 1>in their wake. This woman saw the bodies at the

0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:29.839
<v Speaker 1>sixth Avenue stop at the time. I told some guy

0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that was waiting for the chain across to me, I'll

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:33.279
<v Speaker 1>make this too. Their bodies on there. He was like,

0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:36.320
<v Speaker 1>you're kidding, and I said, no, Look, you're stepping in blood.

0:39:37.160 --> 0:39:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Officials are still investigating how the bodies ended up on

0:39:39.960 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the tracks, but say they don't believe the victims were

0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:45.240
<v Speaker 1>connected and their deaths don't appear to be a crime.

0:39:45.760 --> 0:39:48.719
<v Speaker 1>A last minute plea from New York City Mayor Eric

0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Adams as holiday travelers continue to arrive, even as flu

0:39:53.080 --> 0:39:58.200
<v Speaker 1>RSV and COVID nineteen cases continue to rise nationwide, Adams

0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 1>encouraged New Yorkers to remain vigil One of the risks

0:40:01.160 --> 0:40:04.520
<v Speaker 1>of these respiratory infections now under winter. How do we

0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:09.640
<v Speaker 1>enjoy the holidays and spread love without spread into virus

0:40:10.200 --> 0:40:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and we could have that combination. Mayor Adams encourages New

0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Yorkers to be sure they test before gatherings and consider

0:40:17.440 --> 0:40:20.640
<v Speaker 1>masking up and crowded places. A winter storm is sitting

0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the nation at the height of holiday travel. Bloomberg meteorologist

0:40:26.880 --> 0:40:29.000
<v Speaker 1>weather we've seen in forty years now starting to work

0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:32.240
<v Speaker 1>its way into the northern Plain States. Temperatures from northern

0:40:32.280 --> 0:40:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Montana into North Dakota are well below zero this morning.

0:40:35.600 --> 0:40:37.799
<v Speaker 1>That air is going to be headed southward. It's gonna

<v Speaker 1>Out ahead of this cold there, over the next thirty

0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:50.399
<v Speaker 1>six hours, we'll see a big storm develop. It will

0:40:50.440 --> 0:40:52.440
<v Speaker 1>go up through the central Great Lakes. That's going to

0:40:52.520 --> 0:40:56.040
<v Speaker 1>produce a very significant snowstorm across parts of the central

0:40:56.160 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 1>United States, with blizzard conditions possible around the Chicago Millwalk areas,

0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:03.680
<v Speaker 1>also across western Michigan. It's gonna cause quite a bit

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:06.359
<v Speaker 1>of rain and wind. Out ahead of the storm, will

0:41:06.400 --> 0:41:09.160
<v Speaker 1>see that effect portions of the mid Atlantic States in

0:41:09.200 --> 0:41:11.839

<v Speaker 1>This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Morning up, Nathan Hagar. We are

0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:10.280
<v Speaker 1>following a couple of major stories out of the nation's

0:44:10.320 --> 0:44:13.120
<v Speaker 1>capital this afternoon. We are expecting the arrival of Ukrainian

0:44:13.120 --> 0:44:15.960
<v Speaker 1>President Voladimir z Lensky in Washington, d C. At a

0:44:16.040 --> 0:44:20.120
<v Speaker 1>pivotal moment in Russia's war with his country. Plus, after

0:44:20.200 --> 0:44:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a year's long fight, House Democrats have voted to release

0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:27.239
<v Speaker 1>former President Donald Trump's tax returns. Let's get more on

0:44:27.280 --> 0:44:31.080
<v Speaker 1>these stories now. Bloomberg's Bruce Einhorn is following both of

0:44:31.120 --> 0:44:33.640
<v Speaker 1>them for us this morning. Bruce, Good morning. It was

0:44:33.880 --> 0:44:38.600
<v Speaker 1>quite a stunning moment when we learned overnight that President

0:44:38.680 --> 0:44:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Zelenski would be making his first trip outside the country

0:44:42.520 --> 0:44:44.560
<v Speaker 1>to the United States. I have to imagine just the

0:44:44.640 --> 0:44:48.759
<v Speaker 1>logistics of getting President Zolensky out of his country and

0:44:48.800 --> 0:44:52.759
<v Speaker 1>into the US or nothing short of remarkable. Yeah, and

0:44:52.800 --> 0:44:55.120
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be a very short trip too. So

0:44:55.239 --> 0:44:59.759
<v Speaker 1>we we know that President Zolinsky will be arriving in

0:45:00.320 --> 0:45:03.560
<v Speaker 1>at the White House UH and meeting President Biden at

0:45:03.600 --> 0:45:07.000
<v Speaker 1>two o'clock this afternoon. He'll be meeting with members of

0:45:07.000 --> 0:45:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the Cabinet as well as the President's and atal security team.

0:45:10.400 --> 0:45:13.000
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be a press conference at four thirty, and

0:45:13.040 --> 0:45:15.840
<v Speaker 1>then there's going to be a speech by President Zlinsky

0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:18.319
<v Speaker 1>to a joint session of Congress. UM. He has given

0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:21.680
<v Speaker 1>a speech to Congress before. He gave a virtual one

0:45:22.440 --> 0:45:26.520
<v Speaker 1>early this year, UM, just a few weeks after the

0:45:26.600 --> 0:45:30.759
<v Speaker 1>Russians began their invasion of Ukraine this year. UH, this

0:45:30.840 --> 0:45:33.719
<v Speaker 1>of course is going to be in person, a lot

0:45:33.760 --> 0:45:37.560
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of pomp and UH quite a lot

0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:42.320
<v Speaker 1>of symbolism. UH. He'll have a chance to UH lobby

0:45:42.360 --> 0:45:47.399
<v Speaker 1>in person, UM make direct appeals. First additional aid to Ukraine. UH.

0:45:47.480 --> 0:45:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Congress is poised to approve forty five billion dollars in

0:45:51.680 --> 0:45:54.480
<v Speaker 1>new aid for Ukraine. That's part of the omnibus spending

0:45:54.480 --> 0:45:56.319
<v Speaker 1>bill that Congress is likely to pass in the next

0:45:56.360 --> 0:45:59.880
<v Speaker 1>few days. President Biden is also going to be announcing

0:45:59.880 --> 0:46:05.640
<v Speaker 1>additional assistance for Ukraine today, including UH Patrion air defense system,

0:46:05.760 --> 0:46:12.040
<v Speaker 1>something that Ukraine really wants UH, given the persistent attacks

0:46:12.560 --> 0:46:18.000
<v Speaker 1>by Russian missiles by Russian drones against civilian targets against

0:46:18.360 --> 0:46:23.720
<v Speaker 1>the energy grid, against Ukrainian infrastructure. Uh. So the Ukrainians

0:46:23.760 --> 0:46:26.600
<v Speaker 1>field that having the Patriot Air Defense System could really

0:46:26.640 --> 0:46:28.919
<v Speaker 1>make a big difference there. Yeah, so a lot more

0:46:29.000 --> 0:46:31.800
<v Speaker 1>aid coming to Ukraine. And to your point, that first

0:46:31.880 --> 0:46:35.680
<v Speaker 1>address that the President Zelinski gave virtually to Congress early

0:46:35.760 --> 0:46:37.640
<v Speaker 1>in the war came at a time when there seemed

0:46:37.640 --> 0:46:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to have been a lot more unanimity, a lot more

0:46:39.640 --> 0:46:44.359
<v Speaker 1>by partisanship around the idea of providing weapons and humanitarian

0:46:44.520 --> 0:46:46.799
<v Speaker 1>support to Ukraine. It feels as though now when we

0:46:46.840 --> 0:46:49.200
<v Speaker 1>have a new Congress coming in, a new Republican majority

0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:53.600
<v Speaker 1>in the House, that unanimity might be fraying somewhat. You're

0:46:53.640 --> 0:46:57.200
<v Speaker 1>you're right there. There are some members of the incoming

0:46:57.239 --> 0:47:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Republican majority who have been been pretty outspoken criticism of Ukraine,

0:47:03.280 --> 0:47:07.520
<v Speaker 1>most notably Marjorie Taylor Green, the congressman from Georgia. She

0:47:07.760 --> 0:47:12.200
<v Speaker 1>has just now called Zelinski um the shadow president of

0:47:12.239 --> 0:47:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the US and referred to Ukraine as the fifty first state. Um. Uh.

0:47:17.520 --> 0:47:22.240
<v Speaker 1>You've also seen comments from Kevin McCarthy um, the the

0:47:22.280 --> 0:47:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Republican leader in the House who is hoping to become

0:47:26.120 --> 0:47:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the speaker. Uh. In the next session. Uh, he's avowed

0:47:30.120 --> 0:47:34.040
<v Speaker 1>no more blank checks for Ukraine. That said, Uh, there

0:47:34.040 --> 0:47:38.760
<v Speaker 1>have been supportive comments from Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader

0:47:38.800 --> 0:47:41.799
<v Speaker 1>in the Senate. UM, and it does seem that there

0:47:42.040 --> 0:47:46.000
<v Speaker 1>is still strong bipartisan support for Ukraine, albeit with some

0:47:46.120 --> 0:47:49.560
<v Speaker 1>notable exceptions. The other big development, of course in Washington

0:47:49.719 --> 0:47:52.560
<v Speaker 1>is the House Ways and Means Committee, Democrats in particular,

0:47:52.920 --> 0:47:56.759
<v Speaker 1>voting to release former President Donald Trump's tax returns. Of course,

0:47:56.760 --> 0:47:59.960
<v Speaker 1>this is something the former president had been fighting for years.

0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Is from what's been released so far, Bruce, what stands

0:48:02.640 --> 0:48:05.920
<v Speaker 1>out to you? So you're right. This is a saga

0:48:06.000 --> 0:48:08.400
<v Speaker 1>that has been going on since two thousand and nineteen.

0:48:09.160 --> 0:48:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Former President Trump fought it in the courts. UM. Almost

0:48:12.719 --> 0:48:15.720
<v Speaker 1>ran out the clock here. But UM, just shortly before

0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats lose control of the House, they they not

0:48:19.160 --> 0:48:22.640
<v Speaker 1>only have the returns, but they have voted to release them. Um.

0:48:22.680 --> 0:48:25.520
<v Speaker 1>They haven't released them yet. There's still some redactions that

0:48:25.600 --> 0:48:27.880
<v Speaker 1>need to be done. UM. What we have heard so

0:48:27.920 --> 0:48:31.239
<v Speaker 1>far is about the report from the Joint Committee on

0:48:31.280 --> 0:48:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Taxation that's Congress's group of nonpartisan tax lawyers. UM. And

0:48:36.600 --> 0:48:42.720
<v Speaker 1>that report highlights items in the tax returns while Trump

0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:45.480
<v Speaker 1>was president, while Trump was in the White House that

0:48:45.600 --> 0:48:48.319
<v Speaker 1>they said should have been red flags for auditors to

0:48:48.400 --> 0:48:51.839
<v Speaker 1>look more UH, to look more carefully at the at

0:48:52.080 --> 0:48:56.200
<v Speaker 1>at the returns to UM, to apply more scrutiny. UM.

0:48:57.440 --> 0:49:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Richard Neil, the chairman of the Way the Means Committee,

0:49:01.480 --> 0:49:04.600
<v Speaker 1>has said that there wasn't enough work done. That the

0:49:04.640 --> 0:49:08.840
<v Speaker 1>audits which are required by the RS for presidents and

0:49:08.960 --> 0:49:13.239
<v Speaker 1>vice presidents were perfunctory at best. UM. And he's now

0:49:13.280 --> 0:49:15.920
<v Speaker 1>introduced He says he's going to introduce a bill that

0:49:15.960 --> 0:49:18.719
<v Speaker 1>would require the RS to to do their audits within

0:49:18.840 --> 0:49:22.680
<v Speaker 1>ninety days. Of course, there's almost no time left in

0:49:22.680 --> 0:49:25.600
<v Speaker 1>this Congress, so that probably isn't gonna go anywhere. UM.

0:49:26.120 --> 0:49:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Brady, the top Republican on the committee, did warn

0:49:29.600 --> 0:49:33.200
<v Speaker 1>that what the Democrats have done sets a dangerous precedent UH,

0:49:33.239 --> 0:49:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and Republicans are going to be in charge in just

0:49:36.160 --> 0:49:39.160
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks, so it's part Bruce, we gotta leave
