1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: News when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: Doug prisoner. President Trump says the US will start a 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: land operation in Venezuela, similar to the strikes on boats 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: allegedly carrying drugs. 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 2: Now. 6 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: Last week, the US intercepted two oil tankers, and the 7 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: US is pursuing a third. Tonight, Trump was asked what 8 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: the US would do with that oil? Where's the good? 9 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 3: We're going to sell it one of the strategic may 10 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 3: We'll sell it, keep it. 11 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 4: Maybe we'll use it in the strategic reserves. We're keeping it. 12 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 5: We're keeping the ships. 13 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: Also, President Trump speaking there. Meantime, the US Navy will 14 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: be building two new types of warships as part of 15 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: the White House push to modernize the Navy's surface fleet 16 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: and restore domestic shipbuilding. The Navy is pursuing a new 17 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: frigate based on the Legend class cutter, as well as 18 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: a Trump class warship. 19 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:50,959 Speaker 2: Now. 20 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: These new ships are part of the President's Golden Fleet 21 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: bid to revive US shipbuilding. Here is Navy Secretary John 22 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: Phalen pulls into a foreign report. 23 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 3: There will be a source of pride for every American 24 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 3: when it brings home our brave sailors who will sail 25 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 3: defiant raise their fists as say we are piece through strength. 26 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: Maybe. Secretary John Phalen Elon Musk demanded electric doors in 27 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: Tesla vehicles despite concern over their safety. We are told 28 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: Musk's directive was clear, virtually everything in the new vehicle, 29 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: including the doors, should be controlled electronically through the push 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: of a button or the tap of a touch screen. However, 31 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: we are told some Tesla engineers argued for mechanical handles, 32 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: and they raised concern about the potential safety hazards of 33 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: electric systems. Larry Ellison is throwing his personal fortune behind 34 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: the bid from his son's company for Warner Brothers Discovery. 35 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: The senior Ellison is providing a personal guarantee of forty 36 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: billion dollars in equity for financing from Paramount's guidance. Here 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: is Stephen Flynn from Bloomberg Intelligence. 38 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 5: Mid last week, the Warner Brothers Discovery board recommended shareholders 39 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 5: do not participate in the tenor offer, and they listed 40 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 5: the reasons why. Now, what Paramount this Morning has done 41 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 5: is kind of address many of those reasons, particularly given 42 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 5: the Larry Ellison guarantee. So I believe Paramount is going 43 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 5: to see how many shares they get to participate in 44 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 5: the tenor offer and if they need to, you know, 45 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 5: conversations with shareholders, if they need to raise it to 46 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 5: a certain level. At their struggle, it's still comfortable with 47 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 5: I'd imagine that's what they would do. 48 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: That is analyst Stephen Flynn from Bloomberg Intelligence. At the 49 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: same time today, Netflix said it refinanced part of a 50 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: fifty nine billion dollar bridge loan with cheaper and longer 51 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: term debt. Sachs Global Enterprises may be filing for bankruptcy. 52 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: We're told the company is considering Chapter eleven as a 53 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: last resort. More from Bloomberg's Charlie. 54 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: Pellett, sax is facing limited options ahead of a more 55 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: than one hundred million dollar debt payment DOE at the 56 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: end of this month. Those sources say the retailer is 57 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 2: also weighing additional ways to shore up liquidity, including raising 58 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: emergency financing or selling assets. Sachs did raise billions of 59 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: dollars from bond investors late last year to finance a 60 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: bold turnaround plan centered on the acquisition of Nieman Marcus, 61 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: betting that scale would revive the struggling luxury retailer. Instead, 62 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: the deal deepened the company's debt burden. In New York, 63 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: Charlie Pellot Bloomberg. 64 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: Radio, BET Governor Stephen Myron said the US Central Bank 65 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: risk sparking a recession unless it continues lowering interest rates 66 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: next year. Here is Myron speaking earlier to Bloomberg Television. 67 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 4: So I don't see a recession in the near term, 68 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 4: in part because we are adjusting our policy rate, belowering it, 69 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 4: which is appropriate. 70 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: You know. 71 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 4: My view, as as I've described, is that a variety 72 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 4: of shocks that hit the economy, you know, including changes 73 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 4: to the population growth rate due to the changes in 74 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 4: the border policy, have pushed what we call the neutral 75 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 4: rate down, and that policy needs to adjust downward to 76 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 4: reflect that downward shift in neutral. If we don't adjust 77 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 4: policy down then I think that we do run risks 78 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 4: of right of rising recessions. 79 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: That is FED Governor Stephen Myron, who has argued for 80 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: larger rate cuts since he joined the fed's Board of 81 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: Governors in September. Incidentally, his term expires in January. And 82 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: you can hear more from Steven Myron on the Bloomberg 83 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: Talks podcast tomorrow. We'll get an initial reading on third 84 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: quarter economic growth, and Bloomberg Economics is estimating the American 85 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: economy likely grew at more than three percent, supported by 86 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: robust consumer spending and modest investment gains. Today, the CEO 87 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: of Bank of America, Brian moynihan said the economy is 88 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: in good shape. Here is moynihan speaking to Bloomberg Television. 89 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 3: In the third quarter, it was up about five percent 90 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 3: of last year. As we look at the fourth quarter 91 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 3: here so far in October November, I sat in a 92 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 3: four to four and a half percent, which is very 93 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 3: consistent with a very solid growing economy. You know, at 94 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 3: the end of day, it's going to work against wage growth, 95 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 3: and we see in the underline consumers we have wage 96 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: growth either paychecks are going up and so well. The 97 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 3: labor markets flattened out a little bit in terms of 98 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 3: job growth and things like that. It's normalizing in terms 99 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,559 Speaker 3: of unemployment, but you still see underlying wage growth. 100 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: That is Brian Moyinhan, CEO of Bank of America, speaking 101 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: earlier to Bloomberg. And that is news when you want it. 102 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: With Bloomberg News. Now, I'm Derek Krisner, and this is 103 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:18,799 Speaker 1: Bloomberg
