Bloomberg Zamy Morris 68 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 3: reports from the nation's capital. 69 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 9: Thirteen Republicans voted against the measure that would have set 70 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 9: rules for debate, with GOP hardliners arguing it would make 71 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 9: it too easy for the Senate to remove provisions of 72 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 9: the Save America Act. Senate leaders have said they can't 73 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 9: pass it as a standalone measure, so Johnson moved to 74 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 9: attach it to the must pass Defense bill, but that failed. 75 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 9: Now Republicans are weighing their options, including amending the Defense 76 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 9: bill with provisions from the Elections bill or using a 77 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 9: fast track process to bypass the filibuster.

Let's turn now to the 80 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: Supreme Court. The Justices use the final day of their 81 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: term to reject a central plank of President Trump's immigration agenda, 82 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: finding that his executive order to limit birthright citizenship to 83 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: children with at least one US citizen parent does not 84 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: square with the Fourteenth Amendment.

What is left to figure out is what 88 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 10: happens with USCIS. Is there further litigation risk. There's a 89 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 10: lot of questions still unanswered, but a big win for 90 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 10: people in the immigration community who were saying that this 91 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 10: was fundamentally going to change the way that the US 92 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 10: has operated for one hundred fifty years. 93 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: And Bloomberg's Miles Miller reports the Supreme Court six conservative 94 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: justices spend much of the term issuing decisions to expand 95 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 2: presidential power, hands gun rights, eliminate campaign finance restrictions, and 96 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: blunt the Voting Rights Act, But they took a more 97 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 2: cautious tack on President Trump's tariffs, his bid to fire 98 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: Fed Governor Lisa Cook, and a birthright citizenship. President Trump 99 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 2: may try to get the Supreme Court on his side 100 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: one more time. His lawyers say he may ask the 101 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: High Court to reconsider its decision to turn away his 102 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: appeal of e Gene Carroll's five million dollars sexual abuse lawsuit. 103 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 3: Well, Karen, President Trump has issued his latest annual financial disclosures, 104 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 3: and he reported a big return on some of his businesses. 105 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 3: Bloomberg's John Tucker is here with the look John.

What that's been doing recently 176 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 13: has been pushing up our short term interest rates in 177 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 13: the US, and that in turn has been buoying the 178 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 13: dollar and weighing on currencies all around the world. 179 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 3: That's Bloomberg Executive Market Senator Paul Dobbs, and you can 180 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 3: catch Kevin Warsh's remarks live starting at nine am Wall 181 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,599 Speaker 3: Street Time on Bloomberg Radio and the Bloomberg Business app. 182 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 2: Only then the dollar is edging higher ahead of the 183 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 2: FED Chairman's speech. In fact, that yen remains sner a 184 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: forty year low. And when then the chief economist at 185 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 2: Bank of NASA says, the Bank of Japan needs to 186 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 2: take action, They need. 187 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 5: To hike rate. 188 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 6: I think they're reluctant to you because the economy is 189 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 6: sort of vulnerable with the Iran conflict. But I think 190 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 6: when comes to shove, you'll have to intervene, and I 191 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 6: think you'll have to higrates a little more aggressively. 192 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 5: And back of downside. 193 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 2: Chief economists Whin Thinn checking the yen right now, has 194 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: said one sixty two point sixty eight against the dollar. 195 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 3: We're watching shares of Nike in the pre market, Karen. 196 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: They're down nearly four percent. The sportsware makers expecting a 197 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 3: slow down in the coming quarter. Nike blames the timing 198 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 3: of wholesale shipments in North America, among other factors, and 199 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 3: says its customers are under pressure around the world.

The death troll from the earthquakes that 210 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 11: struck Venezuela rose to nearly two thousand as authorities expanded 211 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 11: recovery efforts. About twenty thousand people survived the disaster in 212 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 11: the hardest hit coastal state of Laguira, and the earthquakes 213 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 11: left more than ten thousand people injured in fifteen thousand displaced. 214 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 11: But almost a week after the twin quakes, there are 215 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 11: moments of hope and joy. Survivors are still being pulled 216 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 11: from the brubble, and rescue squads from all over the 217 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 11: world have not given up. Rescue squad officer Sean Butler 218 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 11: says that is why he and his team from Los 219 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 11: Angeles are staying. Butler says they were on the roof 220 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 11: of a collapsed building and heard sounds. 221 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 10: We believe there's somebody alive right now. When we use 222 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 10: our listening devices, we can hear tapping on the concrete 223 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 10: when we call to them. 224 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 11: One rescue included a three year old boy discovered by 225 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 11: searchers from Jordan, using cameras to monitor him until they 226 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 11: could finally get him out. He is said to be 227 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 11: in good shape. New Jersey Representative Tom Kane Junior revealed 228 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 11: that he has been treated for depression as he returned 229 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 11: to the US House to vote for the first time 230 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 11: in nearly four months. Cain said he was diagnosed while 231 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 11: undergoing testing for undisclosed health concerns and initially did not 232 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 11: expect the treatment to involve such a long absence from Congress. 233 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 11: Cain spoke on the House floor Tuesday. 234 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 15: To my constituents.

Cain 240 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 11: and Bennett will face off against each other. In the fall. 241 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 11: Thousands of demonstrators have gathered in South Africa to protest 242 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 11: to illegal immigration. This marks the largest migration related protests 243 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 11: since two thousand and eight. Activists blame migrants for unemployment 244 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 11: and crime and gave the government a deadline that ended 245 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 11: yesterday to remove all migrants in the country illegally. The 246 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 11: government has rejected the deadline, stating only authorities can enforce 247 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 11: immigration laws.

He'll come back 257 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 16: for a twenty fourth NBA season, but it won't be 258 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 16: with the Lakers. He'll be a free agent. The word 259 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 16: is he could be hooking up with Steph Curry at 260 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 16: Golden State or maybe returns to Miami or Cleveland.

Positive Discussions is how a senior Trump 273 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 3: administration officials describing the latest indirect talks with Iran for 274 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 3: US envoys Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner.

Terry, 279 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 3: positive tone coming out of Katar. What's your read on 280 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: the discussions such as we've heard about them so far 281 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: out of Doha? Good morning, Good morning, Nathan. 282 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 17: A couple of things. One is that what we have 283 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 17: here is a process of gradually kind of surrounding Iran 284 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 17: and been kind of denying it, negotiating freedom of movement 285 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 17: as much as anything else. Marked the will always prefer, 286 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 17: as Churchill said, jaw jaw rather than a war war. 287 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 17: So that's certainly a market positive. And more broadly, if 288 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 17: Iran's endgame is straight of hor moves as controls as 289 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 17: widely thought, I think there are four reasons why they 290 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 17: don't get that. First, the UN law the Sea Treaty, 291 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 17: which would deny them that any final deal has to 292 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 17: be approved by the UN. UN is not going to 293 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 17: blow up its own treaty over the straight of Horm moves. 294 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 17: And I say Congress would not approve any deal. The 295 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 17: Gulf States wouldn't agree to any deal. They're not interested 296 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 17: in giving up sovereignty over what hereof has been international waters. 297 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 17: Iran and Oman know all this. So the idea of 298 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 17: maximum leverage over the straight of Horm moves I think 299 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 17: is a little bit overblown. So, you know, after the 300 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 17: press reports today, including Bloomberg's which I've read, the direction 301 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 17: of travels positive, that's a good thing for markets. 302 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 3: Report from Iranian state television this morning that a foreign 303 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 3: container ship ran aground because it didn't follow Iran's approved 304 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 3: route through the strait, saying that vessels need to follow 305 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: IRGC instructions. Could Iron be reasserting its influence over the 306 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 3: strait this morning. 307 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 17: It could be reasserting its influence. It could also be 308 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 17: reasserting its influence over its own airwaves and putting out 309 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 17: a lot of reports that have questionable credibility. We don't know, obviously, 310 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 17: you know, not only that the situation I think is 311 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 17: best is confused, which is leading to shipping, you know, 312 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 17: not just deciding everything's open and everything's okay. This is 313 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 17: going to be a gradual process. And so where we are, 314 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:51,239 Speaker 17: I think is the gradualness of the straight reopening continues. 315 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 17: But again I think the direction of travel is good. 316 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 3: You got to get your take on the direction of 317 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 3: travel for the Democratic Party after last night's Colorado primary. 318 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 3: Is a long time incumbent in the first district lost 319 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 3: to a twenty nine year old Democratic Socialist in the 320 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 3: first congressional district. Is a progressive wave moving through the 321 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 3: Democratic Party. 322 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 17: I think the you know, there's been a lot of 323 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 17: debate about whether or not the you know how, the 324 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 17: progressive wing and the centrist wing or fighting with each other. 325 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 17: My view has been for a few months now that 326 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 17: that battle is over and the Centrists of largely lost 327 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 17: the energy and the money, and the party, including you know, 328 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 17: non elected people and fundraisers, has long been with the 329 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 17: progressive wing. They frankly kind of outstripped their kick, their 330 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 17: coverage in that regard. And you know what you're seeing 331 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 17: here in primaries, we're only the kind of the hardcore 332 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 17: come out. Uh is that they're good at turning out 333 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 17: their people. Now will that turn into results in a 334 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 17: general election. I'm very skeptical of that. I think. I 335 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 17: think what ends up happening is that Trump and Republicans 336 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 17: are going to brand the Democrats as the crazy party. 337 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 17: I think so a lot of that sticks in places 338 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 17: that aren't full blue states, and you're already seeing the 339 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 17: air come out of the balloon a little bit in 340 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 17: the generals where prominent candidates like Platner in Maine, tell 341 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 17: Rico in Texas can't get the fifty percent of any polls. 342 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 17: Polls aren't definitive, but generally speaking, if you're seeing a 343 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 17: way of support, you're seeing one candidate go over fifty, 344 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 17: they're not there. Not only that, at least one pole 345 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 17: as Collins leading Platner in Maine. Right now, if the 346 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 17: progressive progressives seem to prefer purism over electability, that trend 347 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 17: seems to be continuing. It might even continue in Michigan, 348 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 17: where LSI ed is leading Stevens and McMorrow. If that continues, 349 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 17: Republicans continue to be sixty percent likely to take November. 350 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 17: As I've said for about a plunk. 351 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 352 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 2: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 353 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 354 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 3: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 355 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 356 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 357 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 358 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 2: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 359 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: XM Channel one twenty one. 360 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 9: Plus. 361 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 3: Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app now 362 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 3: with Apple CarPlay and Android auto interfaces. 363 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 2: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
