1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: News when you want it. With Bloomberg News Now, I'm

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: Brian Curtis in Los Angeles. Main Secretary of State has

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: removed Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot. Bloomberg's Ed

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Baxter has the.

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: Story Secretary of State Shenna Bellows is using the insurrection

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: clause to become the first election official to take unilateral action.

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 2: Bello says insurrection for his activities in the January sixth

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: election overturned riots. The Trump campaign says it will appeal in.

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: Former Congressman John Katko says it should go to the top.

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 3: It's got to go to Supreme Court. Several states and

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: now I had this ruined. So the Supreme Court's going

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 3: to set the parameters of what we do in situationally

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: like this going forward.

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the US Supreme Court should have a number

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: of cases now from which to choose on the issue

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: at Baxter Bloomberg Radio.

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: Meantime, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Hayley is doing some damage control.

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: That's after she failed to mention slavery as the cause

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: of the Civil War when she was quizzed at a

20
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: forum in New Hampshire last night. This morning, she appeared

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: on the radio program The Pulse of New Hampshire and

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: addressed what some see as a gaff. Haley admits on

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: the Pulse of New Hampshire radio show that the Civil

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: War was about slavery.

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 4: Yes, I know it was about slavery.

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: I'm from the South, of course, you know it's about slavery.

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: But let's go to the second point of this.

28
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 4: The second point of this is why did this happen?

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: That's Nikki Haley. Physicians groups are pushing Congress to reverse

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: impending cuts to their Medicare pay in the new year.

31
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Amy Morris with details.

32
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 4: Healthcare providers have urged Congress to prevent cuts that go

33
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: into effect January first, which they say will eventually limit

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: everyone's access to doctors, particularly the elderly. Hospitals are worried

35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 4: they won't be able to hire more doctors in twenty

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 4: twenty four, which means they'll have to rely more on staff.

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 4: The American Medical Association and other organizations have made reversing

38
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: these cuts a major price. Some are advocating for a

39
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: long term solution, comprehensive Medicare physician payment reform. Amymore as

40
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 4: Bloomberg Radio.

41
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: SpaceX's powerful Falcon heavy rocket has lofted a secretive spaceplane

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: for the US Space Force from Florida. It's the first

43
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: time the rocket has been used to send the Boeing

44
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: built experimental spacecraft into orbit. The launch also marked the

45
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: start of the seventh mission for the Space Force's secretive spaceplane,

46
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: the X thirty seven B. It's not fully clear yet

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: what the X thirty seven B actually does while in orbit,

48
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: but the Space Force says it will expand the USSF's

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: knowledge of the space environment for future space domain awareness technologies.

50
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: Nvidia is selling a less advanced version of a gaming

51
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: chip to its China customers. The version for the China

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: market has about ten percent fewer processing cores than sold elsewhere.

53
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: That's after the government the US government tightened restrictions on

54
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: what the company can market there.

55
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: Here's Bloomberg's ian K the DX forty ninety that was

56
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: the top of the range there actually fell a foul

57
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: of the general rules that the US has put in

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: place for what in Video has done to try to

59
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: poltate them has come up with a different version of

60
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: that top of the range gaming chip. The rules are

61
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: intended to hurt this AI market, but that's had the

62
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: sort of an unintended consequence of influence in the gamers' tips.

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says in video will conform with

64
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: US export curves. Huawei has reported revenue of nearly one

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars. That's the fastest pace of growth in years,

66
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: and it's thanks to a resurgent smartphone business and robust

67
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: five G equipment sales. But Huawei is warning of the

68
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: dangers that Washington and a volatile global economy might pose.

69
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, initial applications for US unemployment benefits

70
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: ticked up in the week leading up to Christmas. First

71
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: time claims rose by twelve thousand to two hundred and

72
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand. That's still at a level consistent with a

73
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: resilient labor market. Here's Laura Raim, chief US economist at

74
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: FS Investments.

75
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 5: While they are concerns about the labor market renormalizing, or

76
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 5: people are starting to talk about tracks in the labor market,

77
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 5: when I look at this indicator, I see companies still

78
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 5: really eager to hold on to workers.

79
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: First time claim figures tend to be volatile around the holidays.

80
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: The four week moving average was little changed at two

81
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: hundred twelve thousand last week. And that's news when you

82
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: want it. With Bloomberg News Now, I Brian Curtis, This

83
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,719
