Good morning. 206 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 3: I'm Nathan Hager. It is a fight that the White 207 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 3: House says is threatening military readiness, but Republican Senator Tommy 208 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 3: Tubberville of Alabama says he will continue to block hundreds 209 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 3: of military promotions unless the Biden administration abolishes its new 210 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 3: abortion policy and the Senate votes on it. He spoke 211 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 3: with Joe Matthew and Anrey Hordn on Bloomberg's balance of power. 212 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 5: I truly believe in our national offense. We don't have 213 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 5: a great national offense. We don't have anything, so that 214 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 5: being said. On the Armed Services Committee, I got a 215 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 5: briefing about a year ago what they were going to 216 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 5: do with the new abortion policy. We didn't need one. 217 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 5: It worked perfect. They never had one complaint. We've had 218 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 5: one since nineteen eighty four. Joe Biden and the Democrats 219 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 5: voted a policy in that had the three exceptions and 220 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 5: it worked perfectly, but they just decided to change it. 221 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 10: Now. 222 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 5: They voted it through Congress in the eighty four, but 223 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty three they want to change it with 224 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 5: a memo from the White House. We're not a communist country. 225 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 5: Everything this made policy and law goes through Congress. And 226 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 5: I told them that if you change it, I'm going 227 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 5: to block your admirals and generals. Well at that time 228 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 5: there was one or two. Now we're up to three hundred. 229 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 5: I think they're starting to believe me that I meant 230 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 5: what I said. And again, they could be clearing these 231 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 5: nominations one at a time, two hours each. They don't 232 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 5: want to do that. Democrats have not been told no 233 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 5: since they've been up here for two and a half 234 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 5: almost three years, since the President Biden was elected, and 235 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 5: now they can't handle it. But we're not going to 236 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 5: have any movement on my side unless they change this 237 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 5: back and let's vote on it. Let's just vote on 238 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 5: it and if it passes. If it passes, it doesn't, it. 239 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 15: Doesn't, So just to be clear, Senator, you want Chuck 240 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 15: Schumer to bring legislation ending the Pentagon's policy to the floor. 241 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 15: Do you want to see the nominees brought to the floor. 242 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 15: How do you see across the valley on us. 243 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 5: Well, if you want to get them all done at 244 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 5: one time, all they have to do is put the 245 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 5: policy back the way it was, the way it was 246 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 5: was voted on here in the Senate, everybody by everybody's 247 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 5: represented it, sign in a White House, and then move 248 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 5: it back and then whatever they want to change it to, 249 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 5: send it over and let us vote on it. If 250 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 5: it passes, pass it fine, If it doesn't it fine, 251 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 5: But the deal is holes would be off. That's all 252 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 5: they have to do is do the policy the right way. 253 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 5: But they don't want to do that. They want to dictate, 254 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 5: you know, to us what they're going to do because 255 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 5: again they think they can do it because they they've 256 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 5: ran righted everything through for the last three years. And 257 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 5: I'm not going to stand for it. The American people 258 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 5: and the people Alabama deserve representation, vote on this. That's 259 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 5: what this country is about. 260 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 2: Sir. 261 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 16: Have you been okay with for the past years decades 262 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 16: your genital concerns are one of the top reasons why 263 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 16: women who are fighting overseas happy get evacuated back to 264 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 16: United States, which could cost up to ten thousand dollars. 265 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 16: A lot of that has to do with reproductive care. 266 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 16: That's US taxpayer dollars as well. Are you okay with 267 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 16: that policy? 268 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 5: Like I said, we've had a policy what since nineteen 269 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 5: eighty four, there has not been one complaint from anybody 270 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 5: about how it's been done, taken care of. There have 271 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 5: been abortions, but now, unfortunately it just happened after Row 272 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 5: Wade and President Biden and his group said well, we 273 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 5: can't handle what's going back to the States, but we 274 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 5: can handle federal employees. Now we got a briefing on this. 275 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 5: They couldn't give us the stipulations on this, whether you 276 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 5: know it's going to be late term abortion where there's 277 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 5: be the three exceptions. They have no clue of what 278 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 5: this policy is. They just wanted to change it to 279 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 5: let the American people know, hey, we can do what 280 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 5: we want to and I'm not going to allow them 281 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 5: to do it. 282 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 15: Getting back to the issue of military families, while you're 283 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 15: still with us here, Senator, those who are living in 284 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 15: temporary housing and in some cases going without pay increases 285 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 15: that their families were counting on, because that, of course 286 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 15: hinges on confirmation. What is your message today to our 287 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 15: viewers and specifically the more than thirteen thousand active duty 288 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 15: service members in your state, many of them with families. 289 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 15: Is this simply the cost of enlisting in today's military. 290 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, we need better house and I'll tell you that, 291 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 5: and we work every day to try to get better housing. 292 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 6: We pass some. 293 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 5: Bills to build better housing. On some of these bags. 294 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 15: They can't get into that housing without a confirmation. 295 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 5: Right, It just depends. Now we're talking about three hundred people. 296 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 5: We're not talking about the other one point five million 297 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 5: of our military personnel that actually do the work. 298 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 14: Not the generals and admirals. 299 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 5: They live in taj Mahal's, they have these big f 300 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 5: offices over to Pentagon, driving around in black SUVs with 301 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 5: an entourage. I'm not talking about the corporals and lieutenants 302 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 5: and the colonels and the majors, the people that actually 303 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 5: do the readiness. These people here in the Pentagon, I mean, 304 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 5: there are a lot of them running around here that 305 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 5: they got real cushy jobs. I'm ready to get maybe 306 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 5: not get rid of some generals. We have forty four 307 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 5: four star generals. Won't you think about that for one 308 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 5: point five million troops. In World War Two we had 309 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 5: twelve million troops and we had seven four star generals. 310 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 5: It makes no sense. We are top heavy here. But 311 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 5: again that's not the problem. And the problem here is 312 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 5: Chuck Schumer refuses to do what's right and bring these 313 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 5: people to the floor and confirm them. And again, we 314 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 5: could have had this already done if they had to 315 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 5: have been hard headed and say we want our way 316 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 5: or we're not going to do it. And so it 317 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 5: is what it is. And again everybody's wanting finger at me. 318 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 5: Chuck Schumer is at faultier. He is the guy, the 319 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 5: leader that's supposed to be running the Senate, and he's 320 00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 5: doing a poor job of it. 321 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the 322 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 323 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 324 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 325 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: get your podcasts. 326 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 327 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 328 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 329 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: Bloomberg one oh six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg 330 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: ninety sixty in San Francisco. 331 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 332 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
