Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 3: Karen, we begin with progress reported this morning in nuclear

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 3: talks between the US and Iran. Iran says it had

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 3: reached a quote general agreement on the terms of a

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 3: potential nuclear deal that would lift sanctions on Tehran and

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 3: ease the risk of a broader Middle East war.

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 4: Here's Iran's Foreign Minister of Basaragchi.

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 5: You're hopeful that negotiation will lead to a sustainable and

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 5: negotiated solution. At the same time, as demonstrated during the

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 5: aggression of thirteen June twenty twenty five, Iran remains fully

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 5: prepared to defend itself against any threats.

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: Iranian FIGN Minister Abbas Uraji made those comments in Geneva.

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: Vice President j D. Vance spoke about the talks with

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: Fox News. You know, in some ways it went well,

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: they agreed to meet afterwards. But in other way is

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 3: it was very clear that the President has set some

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 3: red lines that the Iranians are not yet willing to

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: actually acknowledge and work through. So we're going to keep

21
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 3: on working it but of course the President reserves the

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: ability to say when he thinks that diplomacy has reached

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 3: its natural end. We hope it will get to that point,

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: but if we do, that'll be the president's call. And

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: that was Vice President jd Vance on Fox News. The

26

27

Speaker 3: deal before setting a date for a third round of talks.

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,759

29

Speaker 2: begin a second day of US broker talk. Central among

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: the unresolved issues is Russian President Vladimir Putin's demand that

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: Ukraine handover territory in its eastern Donetsk region that Moscow

32
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,640

34
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,840

35
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,080

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,440

Speaker 3: significant investment is a natural gas facility in Ohio is

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,240

Speaker 4: Bloomberg's Lord Davison has more from Hong Kong.

40
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 6: There are some questions just about the size and scope

41
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 6: of this project just because it would be the biggest

42
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 6: energy project of its kind.

43
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,640

Speaker 6: Mexico off the Texas coast, as well as a project

46
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,600

Speaker 8: Global Management about its contact with the late sex offender

57
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,919

Speaker 8: Apollo's statement claims Black never promoted Epstein's services to other

62
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 8: senior executives, and Apollo spokesman says no one at the

63

Speaker 8: firm other than Black had a personal or business relationship

64
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,200

Speaker 8: The eighty eight year old founder of L Brands, has

67
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 8: spent years answering for his decades long relationship with Epstein.

68
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 8: Wexner has long denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes, but

69
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 8: his prominent victim, Virginia Gouffrey, has claimed Wexner as one

70
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 8: of the men Epstein trafficked her. Two In New York,

00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: mother of Today's Show host Savannah Guthrie was last seen.

75
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,400

77
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: any DNA profiles in the FBI's database. They're working with

78
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: the maker of Guthrie's pacemaker to see if they can

79
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: track her through the device. Richard Frankel is a retired

80
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: FBI agent.

81
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 9: It connects to the bluetooth within her pacemaker and if

82
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 9: they get a hit on it, although you know, they

83
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 9: can get down to, you know, within meters of where

84
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 9: that pacemaker might be, but that pacemaker has to be

85
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,559
Speaker 9: emitting a charge at the same time.

86
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: It's retired FBI agent Richard Frankel. Investigators are also processing

87
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: evidence from two search warrants from last week, and they're

88
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: canvassing gun shops with surveillance footage to see if the

89
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 3: suspect looks familiar. The reward is now to one hundred

90
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 3: thousand dollars for information that leads to Nancy Guthrie's return.

91
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 4: Let's turn to the markets now.

92

Speaker 2: yesterday from an early sell off to eke out gains,

94
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: and we're getting worried this morning about some big moves

95
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: from Wall Street investors, including Warren Buffett. Bloomberg's John Tucker

96
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: joins us with the very latest. John, Good morning, Good morning.

97
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 10: Karen Buffett's Berkshire hathaway A slashed its stake in Amazon

98
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 10: by more than seventy five percent of the fourth quarter.

99
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 10: It now owns roughly two point three million shares of

100
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 10: the company. And so what did Buffett dump Amazon for

101
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 10: The New York Times? This marks his last new bet

102
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 10: as CEO of Berkshire. A regulatory filing shows Berkshire acquired

103
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 10: five point one million shares of The Times. It's a

104
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 10: stake that was worth almost three hundred and fifty two

105
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 10: million dollars a. Berkshire first bought a steak in Amazon

106
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 10: back in twenty nineteen. He sent at the time that

107
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 10: despite his aversion to tech stocks, he'd been quote an

108
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 10: idiot for not buying the online retailer giants' shares sooner.

109
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 10: Shares of The New York Times search more than ten

110
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 10: percent at postmarket trading in New York. I'm John Tucker,

111
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 10: Bloomberg Radio, All.

112
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: Right, John, thank you.

113
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: Shares of Nvidia are up two percent in early trading.

Speaker 3: Meta Platforms has agreed to deploy millions of Nvidia processors

115
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: over the next few years. Meta accounts for about nine

116
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: percent of Nvidia's revenue. It's committing to use more AI

117
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: processors and networking equipment from the supplier. Meta shares are

118
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 3: up almost one percent.

119
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: Nathan, The FED is trying to assess the impact of

120
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence on the economy and productivity growth. San Francisco

121
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: Fed Bank President Mary Daily says policymakers must be open

122
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 2: to signs that AI will have a major impact.

123
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 11: So what we're looking for is a technology to give

124
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 11: us consistently good changes in productivity, so that all industries

125
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 11: at scale get better. Industries figure out new ways to

126
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 11: generate revenue, new ways to do product design, new ideas

127
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 11: to come and shape the economy. That's the thing that

128
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 11: has a sustained productivity growth part. So it's undeniable. Productivity

129
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 11: growth has gone up. What's not as clear is how

130
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 11: long will that last?

131
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: In San Francisco Fed Bank President Mary Daily made the

132
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,240

00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 7: the area's very tough to access, and the more people

160
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 7: that we have up there, the higher chance of another

161
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 7: incident happening. So we're us asking people to avoid the area.

162

Speaker 13: Captain Russell Green, we're learning more about the person who

163
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 13: opened fire Monday during a youth hockey game and an

00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 13: ice rink in Rhode Island. The victims killed were the

166
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 13: others were injured. Paul Tucket Chief of Police Tina Gonklavs

167
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,400

168
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 13: a family friend.

169
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 14: They were all at the event for a son, a

170
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 14: juvenile sun who was playing hockey. It was their senior night,

171
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 14: and there was no expectations or any indication that there

172
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 14: was going to be any type of violence.

173
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 13: Belice've identified the shooter as fifty six year old to

174
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 13: Robert Dorgan, who also went by the name ROBERTA. Esposito.

175
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 13: Police say Dorgan died from an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound.

Speaker 15: If we do not fix the structural imbalance and do

183
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 15: not heed the calls of New Yorkers to raise taxes

184
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 15: on the wealthy, this crisis will not disappear. It will

185
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 15: simply return year after year, forcing harder and harsher choices

186
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 15: each time.

187

Speaker 4: Good morning of Nathan Hagar.

210
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: Both the US and Iran are reporting progress in their

211
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: latest round of nuclear talks engine but with two US

212
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: aircraft carrier groups still in the region. Vice President jd

213
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: Vance is voicing cautious optimism. We would very much like,

214
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: as the President has said, to resolve this through a conversation,

215
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 3: in a diplomatic negotiation, but the President has all options

216
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: on the table. That was Vice President jd Vance in

217
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 3: an interview with Fox News. And we're joined now by

218
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 3: Goldnar motor Vali, who heads Iran coverage for Bloomberg News.

219
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 4: Golnar, Good morning.

220
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 3: So where do things stand between the US and Iran

221
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: after this latest round of talks.

222
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 17: Well, both of them have sounded cautiously optimistic, which is

223
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 17: kind of similar to how they were after the first

224
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 17: round of talks, and this sort of positive, general positive

225
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 17: mood music suggests that they are planning to meet again,

226
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 17: and in fact, the Uranian Forum minister did say that

227
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 17: there is that there will be a third round of

228
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 17: talks on the table. We just don't know when that's

229
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 17: going to be and what the date for that is.

230
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 17: I think the biggest question mark, or there are several

231
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 17: question marks over exactly what it is that they are discussing.

232
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 17: There are some unconfirmed reports, and we've been hearing from

233
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 17: various sources here and there that possibly what they're going

234
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 17: back to is something that's actually quite similar, ironically to

235
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 17: the original Nuclear Deal or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action

236
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 17: that was a grill agreed during the Obama administration, which

237
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 17: Donald Trump famously withdrew from in his first term. But

238
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 17: I think the senses given what we heard from the

239
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 17: Ranian from minister last year when he first started his

240
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 17: talks with Steve Wikoff, that was before the Israeli military

241
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 17: attack on Iran in June, that there is a push

242
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 17: from Iran to provide more commercial and financial incentives to

243
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 17: the US administration because they think that would be more

244
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 17: attractive to Trump. But we don't know right now what

245
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 17: the exact contours are. What we do know is that

246
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 17: the Iranians have said that they have a set of

247
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 17: guiding principles on which they are going to work and

248
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 17: on that basis they are going to exchange texts that

249
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 17: could provide again a framework for a possible deal.

250
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 18: The language is deliberately, I think vague.

251
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 17: It's deliberately indirect about how far they are from actually

252
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 17: finalizing something.

253
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 18: But I think.

254
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 17: That's the way that they have to frame it going forward,

255
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 17: because there are obviously a lot of things that they

256
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 17: still need to discuss and finalize.

257
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 3: The construction framework of a possible deal is syntax we've

258
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: heard before from President Trump and past negotiations as well.

259
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: We also heard from Vice President Vance saying that the

260
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 3: President has laid out red lines that Iran shouldn't cross.

261
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 3: Do we have clarity from the administration as far as

262
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: you can see, Golnar about what those red lines are?

263
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 18: So I think That's.

264
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 17: An interesting question as well, because we know that Donald

265
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 17: Trump has kind of changed or kind of oscillated between

266
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 17: the nuclear Iran's nuclear program and Iran's brutal suppression of

267
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 17: the protests. There's a massive, massive uprising we had a

268
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 17: couple of months ago between those two things as the

269
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 17: motivating driving factor behind his kind of military threats on

270
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 17: Iran and using that to.

271
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 18: Leverage a deal out of the Uranians.

272
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 17: So that's interesting in terms of what actually the Uranians

273
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 17: are being told in the indirect talks with Steve Wikoff.

274
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 17: But it looks increasingly like the Americans have settled on

275
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 17: focusing on Iran's nuclear program.

276
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 18: In terms of military red.

277
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 17: Lines, I would say anything from the Iranians that kind of.

278
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 18: Is a is a.

279
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 17: Stronger threat than what they've already done. They've already done,

280
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 17: which of these military trills in the Persian Gulf that

281
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 17: we know I'm closed up the strait of Homer's partially.

282
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 17: Anything beyond that I think would constitute some kind of redline.
