1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Bloomberg, Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm John Tucker. Here

3
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: are these stories we're following today.

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 3: We'll begin with the latest on the effort to force

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: the sale of the Chinese owned social app TikTok. The

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: issues now before the Senate. After the House overwhelmingly passed

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: the bill that would ban TikTok in the US unless

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 3: byte Dance sells it within six months, Senate Intelligence Chair

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 3: Mark Warner tells Bloomberg's balance of power, senators should expedite

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 3: this bill.

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: I think we need to get this done. And again,

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: what again?

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 4: We need to make clear as somebody's talking about a band,

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 4: we're talking about transferring the ownership and the algorithm to

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 4: some other control of It's not Chinese.

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 3: But lawmakers on both sides of the isle are urging

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 3: more caution, including Senate Foreign Relations Chair Ben Carden.

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: Don't want to inhibit free speech.

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 5: We don't want to inhibit particularly a large segment of

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 5: Americans who get a lot of information from TikTok.

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: But it is a matter of concern that is right

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: for us to take up.

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: And other senators are calling for a full amendment process.

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: That could tie up the bill for months. TikTok has

25
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 3: been lobbying the Senate hard against this legislation even before

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: the House passed it.

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: And sticking with politics, it's a legal setback for former

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,919
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump. A federal judge in Florida has denied

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: he has been to dismiss charges that he mishandled classified

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: documents at mar A Lango. Trump's lawyers had argued the

31
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: charges from Special counsel Jack Smith were too vague. US

32
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: District Judge Alan Cannon, who's a Trump appointee, denied the

33
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: former president's motion without prejudice, meaning the issue could be

34
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 2: raised again later.

35
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: And back on Capitol Hill, John sentim Majority leader Chuck

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: Schumer has reached his breaking point over the war in Gaza.

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: In a speech on the Senate flor Schumer called on

38
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: Israel to hold new elections. He says Prime Minister Benjamin

39
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: Netanyahu has lost his way with a mounting civilian death

40
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: toll in Gaza and for opposing a two state solution

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: with the Palestinians.

42
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 6: As the highest ranking Jewish elected official in our government

43
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 6: and as a staunch defender of israel I rise today

44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 6: to say unequivocally this is a grave mistake, but.

45
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says it's Schumer who's making

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: the mistake.

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 7: It is grotesque and hypocritical for Americans, who hyperventilate about

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 7: foreign interference in our own democracy to call for the

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 7: removal of a democratically elected leader of.

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: Israel, and the White House is stopping short of endorsing

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: Senate Leader Schumer's remarks. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby

52
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: says the White House is laser focused on getting a

53
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 3: temporary ceasefire in place between Israel and Hamas.

54
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: And we now head overseas, where France's President Emanuel Matcron

55
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: says the European Union faces an existential threat unless Russian

56
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: forces are defeated in Ukraine. Macron's been speaking to French

57
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: television ahead of a meeting with the leaders of Poland

58
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: and Germany.

59
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 8: We have suffered the consequences in Europe, the price of gas,

60
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 8: the economic situation, the price of grain, the economic disruptions

61
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 8: that followed are the consequences of this war that Russia

62
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 8: has started. If Russia wins this war, the credibility of

63
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 8: Europe will be reduced to zero. What would be the

64
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 8: credibility in our countries of an EU whose members allowed

65
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 8: that to happen?

66
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: He was speaking through an interpreter. Emmanuel Macron's comments as

67
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: voters hinder the polls for a Russian presidential election that

68
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin is all but guaranteed to win.

69
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: And John another European leader's warning of the threat posed

70
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: by Russia's invasion the head of Latvia, one of the

71
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: Baltic states that borders Russia. Latvian Prime Minister of Viga

72
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: Selina says a Russian victory would have a global impact.

73
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 9: If Russia wins, those consequences will affect all the world.

74
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 9: Also Washington, also United States, not just Europe, will be

75
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 9: affected by this result of the conflict.

76
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: Lad Via Prime Minister of Vica Selina ads she supports

77
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: the idea of sending NATO troops to Ukraine to train

78

Speaker 2: And turning to the Marcus, futures are mixed to lower.

82
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: As we close out the trading week, stocks fell yesterday,

83
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: Treasury yields they climbed after another hot inflation report, reinforced

84
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: bets the Fed is going to be a no rush

85
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: to cut interest rates. Let's get more from Bloomberg Economy

86
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 2: editor Jill Decease.

87
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 10: When the Fed, which has been spending the last couple

88
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 10: of months, really really pushing back from this idea of

89
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 10: early interest rate cuts, this years need for patients, this

90
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 10: need to sit back and examine the data before making

91
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 10: those decisions on when to begin this trajectory toward rate cut.

92
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 10: So I think that that's really kind of taking hold here.

93
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 10: I mean, were getting this data that's showing us that

94
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 10: there's still quite a bit of resilience in the economy.

95
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 10: It's not time to cut rate check you know, as

96
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 10: we're going, it's just pushing back further and further those

97
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 10: expectations for those cuts until you know, at this point

98
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 10: the middle of the back half of the year.

99
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: And Bloomberg's Jill Lisa says traders have paired their vents

100
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: on Fed rate cuts this year. The swaps markets are

101
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: now fully pricing in the first move not in June

102
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: but July.

103
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: But john Bitcoin is extending its retreat as well from

104
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: its latest record high. Checking the crypto currency right now,

105
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: it's down more than five percent, trading at sixty six

106
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: eight hundred dollars. There's an intensifying debate about whether crypto's

107
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: bull run has reached a bubble. Bitcoin did reach an

108
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,119
Speaker 3: all time high of almost seventy four thousand earlier this week.

109
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 3: A gauge of the top one hundred tokens, which also

110
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 3: includes ether, BnB and Solana, is up about sixty percent

111
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: so far this year.

112
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, copper handswers to an eleven month high. In fact,

Speaker 2: it rallied to nine thousand dollars a ton today on

114
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: Best Today. You pick up in global manufacturing will push

115
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: up demand for industrial commodities seen as a global economic

116
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: bell weather the global economy. The metal has surged this

117
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: week as investors warmed to the idea that the worst

118
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: of a global downturn has passed.

119
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,839

Speaker 3: We get the story from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett.

123
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: The quarter fueled concerns that new AI focus startups pose

124
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: a competitive threat. Adobe said revenue will be five point

125
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: two five to five point three billion in the period. Analysts,

126
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: on average projected five point three to one billion. The

00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: into its market. In New York.

130
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:54,600

Speaker 11: they want to give Trump's legal team up to thirty

141
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 11: days to review them. The documents are related to Trump's

154
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 11: argument continued and escalated.

155
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 12: During this physical confrontation, that gun we believe was removed

156
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 12: from the thirty six year old by the thirty two

157
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,440

00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,439

00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 11: into stations across the city amid a thirteen percent spike

162

Speaker 11: father of a Michigan school shooter, has been found guilty

164
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 11: of involuntary manslaughter. It is the second jury conviction against

165
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 11: Ethan Crumbley's parents, who were accused of failing to secure

166
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 11: a gun at home and doing nothing to solve the

167
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 11: mental health problems. Ethan killed four students at Oxford High

168
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 11: School in twenty twenty one. Gland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald.

169
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,720

170
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 13: lives and protected the hundreds of kids in the school

171
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 13: that day and all of the members of the Oxford

172
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 13: community that it devastated.

173
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 11: Jennifer Cromwley was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in February. Ethan,

174
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 11: now seventeen years old, is serving a life sentence. The

175
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 11: Indiana State Police say there are many significant injuries after

176
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,160

225
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: Let's get more. Now, what's happening in the nation's capital,

226
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 3: where the momentum for the TikTok bill may be fading,

227
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: Former President Trump's legal pressure isn't easing, and Senate Leader

228
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 3: Schumer's support for Israel's government appears to have hit its

229
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: breaking point. We're joined down by Derek Wallbank, managing at

230
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: for Bloomberg News. Derek, good to talk with you this morning.

231
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: Of course, the Senate has a reputation for being the

232
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: place where hot legislation goes to cool, and that certainly

233
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 3: seems to be the case for this TikTok divestment bill.

234
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 16: Yeah, Nathan, I think that the Senate is under no,

235
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 16: it's not in a hurry to move on the TikTok bill.

236
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 16: Let's let's say it that way. Even if there is

237
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 16: a fair amount of skepticism in the US upper Chamber

238
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 16: for uh, you know, for TikTok, there's there's certainly you know,

239
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 16: it's it's a place where there has been a lot

240
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 16: of skepticism about China's role in the economy. I don't

241
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 16: see right now. You know, we're certainly seeing signs from

242
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 16: UH from top lawmakers in the Senate suggesting that this

243
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 16: isn't going to UH to move wholesale and get some

244
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 16: quick up or down vote. Now, I should also say this,

245
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 16: you know you're in Washington. I spent a heck of

246
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 16: a lot of time in Washington. We all know that

247
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 16: right now. You know, a lot of the game in

248
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 16: the Senate is what you use your floor time on.

249
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 16: And there's other priorities that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has,

250
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 16: And so is this going to be the thing that

251
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 16: he wants to spend a ton of time on. I

252
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 16: don't know, because it's not just going to be should

253
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 16: this get past or not? But do you want to

254
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 16: take the time on the Senate floor to do this

255
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 16: versus do other priorities. Last thing I'll note on this

256
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 16: is that I know that House Speaker Mike Johnson wants

257
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 16: the Senate to move quickly on this. But keep in

258
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 16: mind that Mike Johnson has not been willing to move

259
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 16: fast on the Senate's own priorities. So it's not as

260
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 16: if he's built up a lot of capital with his

261
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 16: friends on the other side of the Capitol that he

262
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 16: can cash in right now to get that moving.

263
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, thinking about Ukraine aate in particular. But we just

264
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: heard from a Senate Intelligence Chair, Mark Warner, not exactly

265
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: a non powerful member of the Senate, arguing on Bloomberg's

266
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: balance of power that this bill does need to be expedited.

267
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: I mean, is he shouting in the wind here?

268
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 16: I don't think he's shouting in the wind. But I

269
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 16: do think that there's a question of how right, a

270
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 16: question of what do you do? And a question of okay,

271
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 16: if you say that something needs to be soldered or

272
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 16: or shut, is it actually going to be divestible? Is

273
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 16: it going to be something that or are you or

274
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 16: are you actually passing something that really means that it's

275
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 16: going to be shuttered? And what does that mean? I

276
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 16: think all of those are live ball questions, and I

277
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 16: think that the Senate is going to wrestle with what

278
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 16: the real world impacts of this legislation really are before

279
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 16: moving on something that could have major profound consequences, not

280
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 16: least of which here Nathan is remember the fact that

281
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 16: Donald Trump, who is now the presumptive Republican nominee as

282
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 16: well as the single most powerful person in Republican politics

283
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 16: by no small margin, has suggested that if you actually

284
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 16: went through with this, that there might be some consolidation

285
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 16: in the social media marketplace towards others, including Mark Zuckerberg

286
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 16: and Facebook. And Donald Trump does not think that that's

287
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 16: necessarily a good idea. His opinions are going to wait

288
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 16: incredibly big. Not on Schumer, because you know what, does

289
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 16: Chuck Schumer care about what Donald Trump thinks, but certainly

290
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 16: on Republicans in the conference. And if this is going

291
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 16: to move, you're going to need pretty well unified Republican support.

292
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 16: So Donald Trump has a lot to say here.

293
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 3: And speaking of Senator Schumer's priorities in our last minute here,

294
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: I wonder what you made of this major floor speech yesterday,

295
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: really coming out hard against the right wing government of

296
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 3: Israeli Prime Minister Natanyahu.

297
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 16: Well, I think it's been something that Democrats have struggled

298
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 16: with for a long time as how to deal with

299
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 16: Benjamin Nettnia, who has very clearly allied himself with the

300
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 16: right flank of American politics for quite a long time.

301
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 16: And Schumer is a big fan of Israel generally. But

302
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 16: I think this represents and shows makes plain frustration that

303
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 16: Democrats have had with the way that Netnya, who has

304
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 16: prosecuted affairs in Gaza. I think that there has been

305
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 16: a well documented frey on the left in in terms

306
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 16: of the support from Israel, from some of the from

307
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 16: some of the top people, including from President Joe Biden.

308
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 16: You saw a big push towards getting people to vote

309
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 16: uncommitted in Michigan and other states like that, right, and

310
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 16: I think Chuck Schumer is reflecting some frustration.

311
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 5: This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on
