Speaker 9: I think they've decided that there's enough people asking questions
Speaker 9: that they have to say something. But the problem is
Speaker 9: there's no real imperative if you're the president to file,
Speaker 9: because you've got the White House, you've got the logistical

Speaker 2: out a debt limit proposal that cuts spending. We got
Speaker 2: reaction from Democratic Congressman Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 10: Obviously, Democrats are ready willing and able to negotiate with
Speaker 10: Republicans on future spending. What we are not willing to
Speaker 10: do is to give up anything in order to get
Speaker 10: Republicans to do what is their responsibility, and that has
Speaker 10: put a bill on the floor to raise the debt ceiling.
Speaker 11: Queen.

Speaker 2: have created this impass.
Speaker 11: When they passed they Omibus spending bill right before Christmas,
Speaker 11: they could have increased the debt ceiling at that time.
Speaker 11: They chose not to. They did not want to do it,
Speaker 11: so they could have done it. Then they didn't want
Speaker 11: to do it. They wanted to set up this, this sprinksmanship,
Speaker 11: this fight, if you will, around the debt ceiling.
Speaker 2: Congressman Donald's and Boyle were guests on Bloomberg's Sound On
Speaker 2: with Joe Matthew and Kaylee Lines. Catch the show weekdays

Speaker 1: how far he is from the Moon.
Speaker 3: For the latest, we are joined by Bloomberg's John Tucker.
Speaker 3: Good morning John, Yeah.
Speaker 12: Good morning Amy. The initial launch of the most powerful
Speaker 12: rocketing in the world appeared to be picture perfect, but
Speaker 12: then four minutes later, high above the hazy Texas skies,
Speaker 12: the uncrewed Starship exploded. And this is how the SpaceX
Speaker 12: commentator described it.
Speaker 13: Starship just experienced what we call a rapid unscheduled disassembly.
Speaker 12: Well before the explosion, a few of the thirty three
Speaker 12: Raptor engines appeared to flame out. The super heavy booster
Speaker 12: was supposed to separate. That never happened. SpaceX says the
Speaker 12: explode of the rocket on purpose when it started tumbling
Speaker 12: through the sky. NASA's said its goal is to use
Speaker 12: Starship to land people on the Moon in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 12: but first Starship will need to prove it can get
Speaker 12: into space in one piece. Live in New York. I'm
Speaker 12: John Tucker Bloomberg, daybreak.
Speaker 2: All right, John, thank you. It was certainly an eventful
Speaker 2: day for Elon Musk. His wealth plunged almost thirteen billion

Speaker 2: Well, that recent termoil that hit regional banks amy did
Speaker 2: not rise to the level of crisis. That's according to
Speaker 2: Bank of America CEO Brian moynihan.
Speaker 15: Well, I think at the end of the day, crisis
Speaker 15: is too strong a word, and words like that get
Speaker 15: used a lot. But at the end there was a
Speaker 15: fair amount of disruption for a few weeks there. Well,
Speaker 15: certain business models were sorted through, But on the other hand,
Speaker 15: you could see and we could see the stability in
Speaker 15: the other business models.

Speaker 4: after the shooting, Baldwin claimed to ABC's George Stephanopolis that
Speaker 4: he never actually fired the weapon.
Speaker 3: It wasn't in the script for the trigger.
Speaker 11: To be pulled. Well the trigger wasn't pulled.
Speaker 3: I didn't pull the trigger, so you never pulled the trigger.
Speaker 11: No, no, no, no no. I would never point to
Speaker 11: go to pull a trigger at them.
Speaker 10: Never.

Speaker 4: down because he's the President's son. A whistleblower from the
Speaker 4: IRS disagrees with that. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal was asked
Speaker 4: about the Hunter Biden case so.
Speaker 16: Much today it is politicized. We need to look at
Speaker 16: the facts, follow both the facts and the law, and
Speaker 16: really takes seriously any allegations, but at the same time
Speaker 16: review what is missing from those allegations as.
Speaker 4: Well as what's the Senator Blumenthal of Connecticut says, there

Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Don't call it a crisis.
Speaker 2: That's the message from Bank of America Chief Executive Brian moynihan,
Speaker 2: who says recent regional bank turmoil did not rise to
Speaker 2: a crisis level. In a conversation with Bloomberg's David Weston
Speaker 2: during Bloomberg's sell side leaders for him in New York City,
Speaker 2: moynihan said the deposit insurance covered by lenders did a
Speaker 2: good job of protecting consumers. He says he has no
Speaker 2: doubts that the American banking system is in good shape.
Speaker 2: Let's bring you part of that discussion.
Speaker 13: Now that we are where we are looking back over it.
Speaker 13: What do we take away from it? Was this a
Speaker 13: banking crisis, Was it a mild disruption, was it a tremor?
Speaker 8: What was it?
Speaker 13: What is going to linger from it?
Speaker 15: Well, I think at the end of day, crisis is
Speaker 15: too strong a word, and words like that get used
Speaker 15: a lot. But at the end there was a fair
Speaker 15: amount of disruption for a few weeks there. Well, certain
Speaker 15: business models were sorted through. On the other hand, you
Speaker 15: could see and we could see the stability and the
Speaker 15: other business models which would the way way banking is
Speaker 15: down very grand learn business and stuff. And so the
Speaker 15: good news is you're seeing the earnings by the broad
Speaker 15: industry come out this week. You're seeing things have sort
Speaker 15: of played out that way, which is very specific business
Speaker 15: models because the unique circumstances of the last twenty four
Speaker 15: months of thirty six months of massive amounts of cash
Speaker 15: putting the system and then rates changing caught people and
Speaker 15: those had to be sorted out. The good news is
Speaker 15: the basic industry is to reported good earnings across the board.
Speaker 15: Deposits have come down, but that's intended by the FED
Speaker 15: taking money out of the system. It's got to come
Speaker 15: out of somewhere. Banking system is what they want to
Speaker 15: do to you, frankly, make credit tighter and help slow
Speaker 15: down the economy. So that's gone on, but you look
Speaker 15: at the capital, liquidity and earnings power of all these
Speaker 15: companies have been tremendous and that's that's reassuring to people,
Speaker 15: and that's good news because in the end of the day,
Speaker 15: the banking system reflects economy and American economies around the world,
Speaker 15: and you hope it's in good shape, and it is.
Speaker 15: There's no question it's good.
Speaker 10: Shit.
Speaker 13: How the regulators do We were talking to them through
Speaker 13: this period of time and they stepped in obviously took
Speaker 13: the deposit insurance, and do you think they should be
Speaker 13: making changes with future to make sure we don't go
Speaker 13: through this again.
Speaker 15: I think there will be a time to look at
Speaker 15: the deposit insurance scheme in a rational way. It's never
Speaker 15: the time to look at any of the stuff the
Speaker 15: day after it happens, because people have opinions of what
Speaker 15: happened never turns out to be as true as they thought.
Speaker 15: And even in the financial crisis, there are a lot
Speaker 15: of opinions about it started with Leming, well, that was
Speaker 15: the last part of it. It started in two thousand
Speaker 15: and six from what happened. Housing prices quick going up,
Speaker 15: and so it took a little more rational thought to
Speaker 15: think through all the different things that happened. So I
Speaker 15: think the debate will be for transactional accounts should there
Speaker 15: during the financial crisis two thousand and eight nine, I think,
Speaker 15: going on for three or four years, there was a
Speaker 15: guaranteed transaction accounts so the individual smaller companies didn't have
Speaker 15: to be cash managed every day and figure out where
Speaker 15: that the money was. And that's a scheme you could
Speaker 15: do either sort of transaction money in the banking system.
Speaker 15: There's savings money in the banking system, and the savings
Speaker 15: money and banking system is there to get rate and
Speaker 15: return the transaction money is there to help the economy going,
Speaker 15: and the idea is you can ensure that more fully.
Speaker 15: And that's what they did in the financial crisis to
Speaker 15: stop people figure out in the end of the day,
Speaker 15: a scheme like that would have changed nature of what
Speaker 15: went on here because people were running around trying to
Speaker 15: figure out is there two thousand, two fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 15: in one in a small business or an entrepreneurial thing
Speaker 15: or a big company. And so I think there'll be
Speaker 15: time to talk about that. We'll see a playout. It's
Speaker 15: worked pretty well. This is nice because the banking industry
Speaker 15: pays for its own airs and then we have a
Speaker 15: high instinct to clean it up. And so I think
Speaker 15: playing with the thought process how to be carefully dealt
Speaker 15: with only because it's been in place since the thirties
Speaker 15: and it's worked pretty well.
Speaker 13: Your bank and some others stepped in with First republic
Speaker 13: to help them also deposit. It's led it reported by
Speaker 13: Jamie Diamond. Is that something we should expect in the future.
Speaker 13: I mean, is it First Republican to need more or
Speaker 13: will other banks need more from the other banks.
Speaker 15: I don't have any special ins about First Republic, talk
Speaker 15: about why we did as an industry. It was to
Speaker 15: stabilize one of our companies and provide liquidity because it
Speaker 15: was a liquidy question.
Speaker 6: They asked.
Speaker 11: It's good.
Speaker 15: This is kind of the odd thing because if you
Speaker 15: if you're around, and if you're old enough to be
Speaker 15: around in the late ads and nineties, that is when
Speaker 15: the banking christ won. People think the GFC so called
Speaker 15: was a banking crisis. Actually the issue is those companies
Speaker 15: weren't banks. So whether it was all the different companies
Speaker 15: you heard about that you know, caused trouble and cleaning,
Speaker 15: they weren't banks, and they were brought in the banking
Speaker 15: system put an umbrella around them so they could fix them. Wait,
Speaker 15: in late ays and early nineties, you had a highly inflationary,
Speaker 15: high interest rate environment of commercial real estate, and that
Speaker 15: was that was a banking crisis. And so that that's
Speaker 15: different and it happens at a slower pace, and so
Speaker 15: we were able to step in and help because that
Speaker 15: was an asset quality problem. Commercial real estate rolling real
Speaker 15: estate started in Texas and oil and all this stuff.
Speaker 15: You just ran through all the regional economies and these
Speaker 15: companies had.
Speaker 4: Great ask quality.
Speaker 15: It's just they had a liquidity problem and that's why
Speaker 15: we put the deposit in and it worked.
Speaker 2: That was Bank of America CEO Brian moynihan speaking with
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's David Weston at Bloomberg's Sell SI Leaders Forum in
Speaker 2: New York City. You can listen to the full interview
