1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News.

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 3: Karen, we begin with the latest on the deadly New

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 3: Year's Day attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas. The

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 3: FBI has found no evidence linking the attacks. It says

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 3: the New Orleans attacker appeared to have drawn his inspiration

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 3: from Islamic State. Christopher Riah is Assistant Deputy Director for

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: the FBI.

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 4: This was an act of terrorism, It was premeditated and

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 4: an evil act. At this point, there is no definitive

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 4: link between the attack here in New Orleans and the

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 4: one in Las Vegas.

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 3: Still, FBI Assistant Deputy Director Christopher Raya says there were similarities.

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: Both suspects had military backgrounds, and they rented their vehicles

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: through the same car sharing app Turo. Investigators do, though,

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: believe that both men acted a lot well.

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 5: Nathan.

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: President Biden addressed the incidents yesterday, saying he stands with

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: the people of New Orleans.

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 6: People in New Orleans are sending an unmistakeable message they

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 6: will not let his attack or the attackers deluded ideology

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 6: overcome US.

24
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 2: President Biden says he's directing the FBI to continue looking

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: for any link to foreign terrorism. President ELEC. Donald Trump

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: sought to draw links between the attacks and border policy

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: under Biden in a post on social media, despite the

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: suspects being US citizens.

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: Well, Meantime, in Washington, Karen, lawmakers are curing up for

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: a big vote on Capitol Hill. The House of Representatives

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: names the new speaker today as the new Congress gets underway,

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: and President like Trump says he's going to lobby Republicans

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 3: to back the current speaker, Mike Johnson. Let's get more

34
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: from Bloomberg Zami Morris in Washington. The message from Speaker Johnson.

35
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 7: We need to stay unified so we can save the country.

36
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 7: And I think that's an important message.

37
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: Ye Well, Trump acknowledges some lawmakers in the party have

38
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: reservations about allowing Johnson to retain the gabble.

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 4: I think a new support Skicky Johnson.

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 7: Almost everybody likes him.

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: Others are very good too, but they have thirty or

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 4: forty people that don't like him, so that's pretty tough.

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: The party will hold a narrow majority in the incoming House,

44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: and Johnson is facing criticism from ultra conservative lawmakers after

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: backing a temporary spending bill that failed to include the

46
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: President of elects demands for lifting the dead ceiling. Some

47
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Republicans are worried that a clash could hamper efforts to

48
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: enact Trump's agenda in Washington. Amy Moore as Bloomberg Radio.

49
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: Right, Amy, thank you. We do have another major political

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: note this morning. Sources tell Bloomberg News that President Biden

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: will block the sale of US Steel to Japanese own

52
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: nip On Steele, and Bloomberg's John Tucker joins us with

53
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: the details. John, what's the reasoning behind this?

54
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 7: Good morning, Karen. The President has arked US Steel should

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 7: remain American owned and operated. He's never said outright that

56
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 7: he would block the deal. The White House planning to

57
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 7: announce the decision today and now, ironically, the future of

58
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 7: US Steele is actually in question. The company may have

59
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 7: to restart the sale process and they could struggle to

60
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 7: find a buyer for the entire company. Cleveland Cliffs, which

61
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 7: is based in neighboring Ohio, they pursued US Steel before

62
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 7: nip On Steel won the bidding, but it has since

63
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 7: bought a Canadian producer, so they're probably out of the picture.

64
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 7: The acquisition first announced twelve months ago that became a

65
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 7: political flash point during the election. Some worry the sale

66
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 7: of the American company to a foreign entity would amount

67
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 7: to a national security risk. The fourteen point one billion

68
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 7: dollar deal may now wind up in court. At US

69
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 7: steel shares this morning pre market, they are down over

70
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 7: eight percent. York IM John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.

71
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: All right, John, thank you. Meanwhile, back in Washington, we're

72
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: learning more about reports of a hack at the US

73
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: Treasury Department, sources tell Bloomberg News. Chinese state sponsored hackers

74
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: broke into the computers of senior Treasury leaders, accessing unclassified

75
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: materials stored locally on their computers. Hackers were said to

76
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: have access drafts and notes for policy decisions, itineraries, and

77
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: travel planning documents, but did not compromise Treasuries email system

78
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: or classified systems.

79
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: Well, we're turning now to the markets, Nathan and US

80
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: stock index futures are higher as the S and P

81
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: looks to snappy five day losing streak. Investors get some

82
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: hints on the economy today with figures on US manufacturing

83
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: do out and longer term traders are searching for policy

84
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: clarity from a second Trump administration. At Yar Denny, president

85
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: at Your Denny Research tells us despite political instability, he

86
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 2: remains optimistic about US equities.

87
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 8: I've been in the stay home camp versus go global

88
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 8: since twenty ten. In other words, from a US perspective,

89
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 8: I've been recommending that US investors overweight the US relative

90
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 8: to the global economy. And oh, by the way, for

91
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 8: global investors, I've been basically saying the same thing. You

92
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 8: want to overweight the United.

93
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: States at Your Denny with Your Denny Research, says the

94
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: strength and resilience of the US economy gives him optimism

95
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: about stocks in the coming years.

96
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: You want markets overseas and China's I'm sure you want

97
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: as we can past seven point three per dollar. That's

98
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: the level Chinas been defending since late last year. The

99
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: breach reflects concerns over China's economic struggles and a widening

100
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: bond yield discount to the US. It could signal the

101
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 3: People's Bank of China's looking to accommodate mounting growth pressures

102
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: through a weaker currency.

103
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: Well. Nathan, turning to some individual US companies now shares

104
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: of Tesla, They're up at one point three percent this morning.

105
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: That's after the ev giant announced annual sales drops for

106
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: the first time in more than a decade. Bloomberg's David

107
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: Welch says it's a growing concern for the car maker.

108
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 9: Tesla has more competitors in the US now, GM has

109
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 9: a lot of evs out, Hyundai and Kia do as well,

110
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 9: and then in China, of course they've got big competition

111
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 9: with BYD and the other domestic players there. So Tesla

112
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 9: no longer has this this stranglehold on the market that's

113
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 9: been happening for a while, and I think it's gathering steam.

114
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's David Welch says. Slumping sales for Tesla come despite

115
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: a year end push that sent deliveries to a record

116
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. Time now for a look at

117
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: some of the other stories making news in New York

118
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 2: and around the world, and for that we're joined by

119
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Michael Barr.

120
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 10: Michael, Good morning, Good morning Karen. If you ask the

121
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 10: Port Authority and the MTA, it's happening. New Jersey drivers

122
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 10: soon will pay more if they go to Manhattan. The

123
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 10: Poort Authority announced that new congestion pricing rates will go

124
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 10: into effect starting this Sunday. It will affect any driver

125
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 10: entering from sixtieth Street in Manhattan and below all the

126
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 10: way down to New York's Financial District. However, a judge

127
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 10: will issue a decision today on whether to stop the

128
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 10: tolling plan. The hearing today is at three PM, and

129
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 10: New Jersey lawmakers aren't giving up. Tom Bracken is with

130
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 10: the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce.

131
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 11: The slap in the face that New York is giving

132
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 11: us to ask us to pay for their Metropolitan Transit

133
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 11: financial shortfall is absolutely disgusting.

134
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 10: Audio courtesy of ABC seven. The MTA fired by back

135
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 10: at New Jersey lawmakers, saying in a statement, nobody in

136
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 10: their right mind should take transportation advice from the New

137
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 10: Jersey politicians who will woefully failed to manage transit in

138
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 10: their state. Police in southern California say two people are

139
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 10: dead and nineteen others injured after a small plane crash

140
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 10: to the roof of a furniture manufacturing building. The accident

141
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 10: near the Fullerton Municipal Airport in Orange County caused a

142
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 10: fire and prompted the evacuation of at least two hundred workers.

143
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 10: The FAA and NTSB are investigating and say the aircraft

144
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 10: is a four seat, single engine aluminum airplane. The NTSB's

145
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 10: Elliot Simpson, it's.

146
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 5: A kit built airplane.

147
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 12: It's a very popular airplane. It's about eleven hundred of

148
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 12: the movement built and about eleven thousand Vans aircraft have

149
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 12: been built, so it's a pretty popular kit built airplane.

150
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 10: The NTSB's Elliot Simpson also says shortly after take off,

151
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 10: the pilot called for an immediate return to the airport.

152
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 10: At the White House, President Biden presented twenty Presidential Citizens Medals.

153
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 10: Recipients include former Wyoming Republican Representative List Cheney, who served

154
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 10: as the vice chair of the House January sixth Committee.

155
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 10: Biden applauding the honorees and says they have performed exemplary

156
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 10: deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens.

157
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 6: Our democracy begins and ends the duties of citizenship. That's

158
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,600

Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Day Break.

216
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: Good morning, Nathan Hager. The scenes are getting back to normal,

217
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: but the investigations continue into the deadly New Year's Day

218
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: truck attack in New Orleans and cyber truck explosion in

219
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: Las Vegas. President Biden says he has directed authorities to

220
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 3: accelerate their probes into both attacks.

221
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 6: We're also continuing to investigate whether or not there's any

222
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 6: connection between the New Orleans attack and the explosion in

223
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 6: Las Vegas as of now. As of now, they've just

224
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 6: been briefed there have not found any evidence of such

225
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 6: a connection thus far.

226
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: President Biden spoke from the White House for more on

227
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 3: this and all the political news this morning, were joined

228
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: by Bloomberg News Senior editor Bill Ferries. So, Bill, we

229
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: just heard the President say that they've found no credible

230
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 3: link between the attacks at this point, but these incidents

231
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 3: do share some pretty striking similarities.

232
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 12: Good morning, Hey, good morning, Thanks for having me. It

233
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 12: is a really unusual situation, both of these attacks taking

234
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 12: place on New Year's Day. The suspect in that New

235
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 12: Orleans attack an Army veteran who rented his vehicle on

236
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 12: the app on the app Turo and had served at

237
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 12: what was known as Fort Bragg at one point and

238
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 12: had been in Afghanistan. The suspect confirmed dead and then

239
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 12: Las Vegas attacks shared basically all of those same attributes.

240
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 12: They were both in Afghanistan in two thousand and nine,

241
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 12: they had both passed through He had passed through Fort

242
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 12: Bragg and also rented the cyber truck on Turo and

243
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 12: then drove it to Las Vegas. That said, at this

244
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 12: point in an investigation, police and federal officials would have

245
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 12: looked through phones and computers and things like that. I

246
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 12: think ultimately what they're finding is that there was no

247
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 12: communication between these two people. They don't seem to have

248
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 12: anything in common. Besides what they did on January first.

249
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: Just the fact that in the cyber truck incident, the

250
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: suspect in that case was an Army green beret has

251
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 3: to be sending a shutter through the Army for a

252
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: situation like this to take place.

253
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 12: Oh, absolutely, he's Army green beret. Appears to have been

254
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 12: on leave from his base in Germany. I think we

255
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 12: still are waiting for a lot of details in terms

256
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 12: of what his possible motivations would be. Investigators saying that

257
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 12: he appears to have died by a self inflicted gunshot

258
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 12: wound seconds or just moments before that fire and explosion

259
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 12: took place. They have not actually concretely identified him through

260
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 12: DNA or those things, but they did find his identification

261
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 12: and other belongings that they linked to him in the truck.

262
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 12: But there's going to be a deep look at sort

263
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 12: of what was going on in his mind, what has

264
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 12: been going on with people he talked to in the

265
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 12: days and weeks before this took place.

266
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 3: And while the President has been focused, of course on

267
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: these incidents over the last couple of days, now that

268
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: he's been focused as well on his decision over whether

269
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 3: to allow the US steeled takeover by Nippon Steele to

270
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: go forward, and it looks like that decision is no.

271
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 12: That's right. It looks like I think the President had

272
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 12: until early next week to make a final decision after

273
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 12: that Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States issued

274
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 12: its report to him. But we know from our reporting

275
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 12: that the White House is planning to announce this decision,

276
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 12: most likely today Friday, and that he is going to

277
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 12: reject it.

278
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 10: Now.

279
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 12: We signaled all along that he was likely opposed to

280
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 12: this deal, this fourteen billion dollar deal. It's been hanging

281
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 12: out there for I think it's been more than a

282
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 12: year now, but this will mean that he kind of

283
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 12: puts a final nail in the coffin of it. There

284
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 12: was an effort by the companies involved to try to

285
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 12: make some changes at the last minute that doesn't appear

286
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 12: to have convinced the administration to support it.

287
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: Now, this is a victory for the United steel Workers Union.

288
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: It had been opposed to this deal going forward, but

289
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: the rank and file had kind of broken with the

290
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 3: leadership on this right.

291
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 5: That's right.

292
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 12: Local workers had signaled support for it. Local officials had

293
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 12: signaled some support for it. The company had worked a

294
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 12: couple times to try to revise the deal to make

295
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 12: it more appealing. We knew before the election that it

296
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 12: was a very difficult political It had slim chances of

297
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 12: passing before the election, But there was some thinking that

298
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 12: after you got past the election and people didn't have

299
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 12: to worry about the votes so much, that maybe either

300
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 12: President Biden or President Elect Trump, who also opposed it,

301
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 12: would change his mind. That hasn't happened.
