This is Bloomberg Daybreak. 189 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 3: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. New Jersey is lawyering up. 190 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 3: That's the word from the state's governor, Phil Murphy. He 191 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 3: says he is pursuing legal options to block New York's 192 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 3: congestion pricing plan. The measure would charge drivers more than 193 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 3: twenty dollars to head into Midtown and downtown Manhattan. In 194 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 3: a conversation with Ann mariey horder and on Bloomberg's Balance 195 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 3: of Power, Governor Murphy discussed his fight against the congestion 196 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 3: tax and the outlook for next year's presidential race. Let's 197 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 3: listen into that conversation. 198 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 12: Now, we are lawyering up, and we're considering all of 199 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 12: our options. 200 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 11: I'm not opposed to to mitigating climate or pollution tech. 201 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 12: We've got the strongest environmental record of any state in America. Oh, 202 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 12: we can fix a. 203 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 11: Broken MTA in New York City on the back of 204 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,239 Speaker 11: New Jersey commuters. 205 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 12: That that's not our job. 206 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 11: So this discriminates against New Jersey commuters. 207 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 12: It's a huge tax on them. 208 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 11: It frankly challenges our environment because of all the rerouting 209 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 11: of traffic that will take place. 210 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 17: Instead of congestion pricing well at. 211 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 11: A certain time and place at a certain rate. This 212 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 11: is not necessarily a bad idea, But let me just 213 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 11: remind everybody before we got here, everybody dragged their feet 214 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 11: on the Port Authority bus terminal that's years away from 215 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 11: getting rebuilt. Everybody dragged their feet and canceled the Gateway 216 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 11: Tunnel predecessor project, which is two more rail tunnels under 217 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 11: the Hudson. 218 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 12: When both of those are complete and there's. 219 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 11: A fair deal to discuss, that's something I'd be completely 220 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 11: open to. But this is not the time or the place. 221 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 11: Neither of those things are in fact in place, and 222 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 11: I'm not going to allow the MTA to balance its 223 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 11: books on the back of New Jersey commuters. 224 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 17: So are you looking at all the potential legal paths 225 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 17: forward for Jersey. 226 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 12: We are. 227 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 11: In all aspects legal and otherwise we will not win. 228 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 11: We also have the Port Authority which is a player here, 229 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 11: and that's another avenue that we are constantly assessing. We 230 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 11: cannot allow this to be MTA to fix its broken 231 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 11: finances on the back of Jersey commuters. 232 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 12: We're not going to let that happen. 233 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 17: Speaking of commuters, Newark is a major hub, especially for United. 234 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 17: We have been hearing from the CEO there's been a 235 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 17: lot of issues regarding flight disruptions, and Scott Kirby actually 236 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 17: told staff in a letter that United could quote further 237 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 17: change or reduce schedule to improve operations out of Newark. 238 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 17: Has Scott Kirby reached out, how concerned of you that 239 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 17: United may actually scale back its presence at Newark Airport. 240 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 11: We speak to Scott and his team all the time 241 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 11: about this and about other matters. This has been a 242 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 11: tough several weeks here in the Northeast United States. 243 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 12: This isn't unique to Newark, and. 244 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 11: I know Scott knows that we work as best we 245 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 11: can with the port authority which runs the airport, with 246 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 11: the big players, including United, with the FENS. I think 247 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 11: Scott is also on record that he thinks that this 248 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 11: is an air traffic controller issue in terms of staffing levels. 249 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 11: But we're investing in Newark's tomorrow. Terminal A open a 250 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 11: few months ago to great fanfare. The rest of it 251 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 11: will all be entirely opened to all the other gates 252 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 11: by the middle of September. We're early stage on Terminal B. 253 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 11: This is an incredible gem. When you pitch New Jersey 254 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 11: around the world, as I do when you pitch corporates 255 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 11: to come in and plan a flag, the connectivity with 256 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 11: Newark Liberty Airport is a big part of that pitch. 257 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 11: So we will stay vigilant on that, I promise you. 258 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 17: On the political landscape, you're of course involved in twenty 259 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 17: twenty four because you're on the President's advisory board, do 260 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 17: you expect that you're going to be used even more 261 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 17: to go out and pitch the president's agenda Given the 262 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 17: fact that poll after pol continues to just show that 263 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 17: Americans are still quite concerned about the president's age. 264 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 11: I'd be happy to go out any time anywhere for 265 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,479 Speaker 11: the President and Vice President. Their track record, in particular 266 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 11: on the economy and on leading the coalition and this 267 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 11: aggressive of seeing war that Russia has initiated on Ukraine. 268 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 11: I think the work on both of those fronts is outstanding. 269 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 11: I read somewhere recently. And this is important to note 270 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 11: that Ronald Reagan's numbers in the middle of nineteen eighty 271 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 11: three were actually quite weak. The economic recovery had really 272 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 11: started with the Wall Street of search in the late 273 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 11: summer of eighty two, and it hadn't caught up with 274 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 11: his popularity. I suspect you're going to see something very 275 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 11: similar happen with Joe Biden, and if I could be 276 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 11: a part of that, as a surrogate or any other way, 277 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 11: I'd be honor to. 278 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 17: I have a final quick yes or no?
