1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Doug Prisner. President Trump is reportedly weighing whether to replace

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: FED share Jay Powell before his term ends in eleven months.

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal says in recent weeks, the President has

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: toyed with the idea of selecting and announcing Powell's replacement

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: by September or even October. Now, the President has referred

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: to the FED chair as too late Powell due to

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: his reluctance to lower interest rates. Earlier today, Powell said

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: the Fed doesn't need to be in a rush to

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: cut rates. He told the Senate Banking Committee it's tough

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: to figure out how tariffs will impact consumer prices.

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: Near term measures of inflation expectations have moved up over

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: recent months, as reflected in both market and survey based measures.

14
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: Respondents to surveys of consumers, businesses, and professional forecasters appoint

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: to tariffs as a driving factor beyond the next year

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: or so. However, most measures of longer term expectations remain

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: consistent with our two percent inflation goal.

18
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: That is FED shareja Powell testifying to the Senate Banking Committee. Now,

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: the journal reports names being floated as successors to Powell

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: include former FED Governor Kevin Walsh, a NEC director Kevin Hassett,

21
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: and former World Bank President David Malpass, as well as

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: FED Governor Chris Waller. Meantime, Goldman Sachs vice chair Robert

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: Kaplan says Powell is right to exercise caution over the

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: impact of tariffs. Here is Kaplan speaking earlier to Bloomberg.

25
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: Since April, I would argue that was probably the height

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: of the uncertainty. I think since then, with the ninety

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 3: day pause, with some clarity, that we set a provisional

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 3: ten percent rate, not the early April Liberation Day rates.

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: I think the business community is moving toward greater clarity,

30
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: but we're not quite there yet.

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: Robert Kaplan there, he is the vice chairman at Goldman

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Sachs speaking to Bloomberg. We go to the NATO summit next,

33
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: where there was a bold commitment from all thirty two

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: members to raise military spending to five percent of GDP. Now,

35
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: this dramatic move underscores the alliance's growing concern over Russian aggression.

36
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Enmory hor Dern is covering the summit at the Hague.

37
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 4: It's quite an ambitious goal. And Mark Rutta, the Secretary General,

38
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 4: has been talking about the fact that he thinks the

39
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: alliance was going to be able to get this over

40
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 4: the finish line. Five percent in terms of GDP spending

41
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 4: needs to go to defense now if you are part

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 4: of this alliance.

43
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: That's Bloomberg'samory Hordern covering the NATO summit at the Hague.

44
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: By the way, NATO member Spain was a little reluctant

45
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: to meet that five percent target, and it drew swift

46
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: reaction from President Trump. He threatened to impose tougher trade

47
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: restrictions on Spain. Congressional Republicans are racing to meet a

48
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: self imposed fourth of July deadline for passage of the

49
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: President's tax and spending bill. If and when it passes

50
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: the Senate, it will be back to the House before

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: it lands on the President's desk. Here is Indiana Republican

52
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: Congresswoman Aaron Houchin.

53
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 5: Well, I think there are a number of things that

54
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 5: could make it difficult when the bill comes back. We've

55
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 5: got some concerns with provider taxes, We've got concerns with

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 5: hsas being not included in the Senate version. But I

57
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 5: think at the end of the day, Speaker Johnson, House Republicans,

58
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 5: We've been encouraging our colleagues in the Senate to try

59
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 5: to stick with the plan that the House laid out

60
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 5: as much as possible to give this bill the glide

61
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 5: path necessary to get to the President's desk by July fourth.

62
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: That is Aaron Houchin, Republican congresswoman from Indiana speaking there.

63
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: By the way, there are numerous parts of the bill

64
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: still in flux that would include the deduction for state

65
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: and local taxes known as salt. It's become a major

66
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: point of tension between the House and the Senate. We

67
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: go to New York City next. Zorn Mamdani, a thirty

68
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: three year old Democratic Socialist, is the presumptive winner of

69
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: the Democratic primary for the mayor of New York City.

70
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: Here is Aisha Mills, CEO and founder of Community Asset Management.

71
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 6: If you look at how the candidates kind of paired

72
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 6: off or quatted off and started to call in dorse

73
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 6: one another, you saw a progressive Jew co endorse Mom Donnie,

74
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 6: who happens to be Muslim, and then you saw these

75
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 6: coalition come together of folks that said, okay, well, we're

76
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 6: doing brank choice. Right now, let's jump in and support

77
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 6: each other because we know we'll all be great for

78
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 6: New York City, and that coalition is ultimately what's going

79
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 6: to win him, presumably in the general.

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: Ayusha Mills there from Community Asset Management. Now, going forward,

81
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie will face current mayor Eric Adams, who is

82
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: running this time as an independent, as well as Republican

83
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: Curtis Sliwa and Independent Jim Walden. We go to sports next.

84
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: The Dallas Mavericks have selected duke forward Cooper Flagg with

85
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: the number one pick in the NBA draft. And that

86
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: is news when you want it. With Bloomberg News. Now,

87
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm Doug Krisner, and this is Bloomberg
