Speaker 3: Let's start with politics and results from the special election

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 3: in New York. Tom Swazi and Mozzi Pillup squared off

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 3: in a race for the seat left open by former

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: Representative George Santos, and Democrats came out victorious in New

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: York's third district. Tom Swazi won the contest with fifty

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: four percent of the vote. Bloomberg'slaura Namias says the race

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 3: was viewed as a bellweather for November's election.

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 4: We did talk to some voters out in the district

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 4: who said that they were casting their ballots for Swazi

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 4: because they wanted Democrats to retake control of the House,

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 4: less because of any personal attachment to Tom Swazi than

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 4: because they wanted control of the House of Representatives to

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 4: switch back to Democrats. They were concerned about abortion rights,

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 4: the future of democracy. They were concerned about some of

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 4: the things that had happened during the Trump presidency, and

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 4: about whether or not Democrats could keep democracy afloat.

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,279
Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Law Anamius notes Tom Swazi had represented New York's

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: third for three terms until George Santos claimed his seat.

22
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: The victory for Democrats narrows Republicans' thin majority in the House.

23
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: The GOP now has just a six member advantage in

24
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: the chamber.

25
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 2: The special election came on the same day the House

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: impeach Tallejandrei. New Yorkis Republicans voted by the narrowest possible

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: margin to impeach the Homeland Security Secretary after failing in

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 2: their first attempt last week. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced

Speaker 6: The resolution is adopted, New.

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: Yorcus becomes the second cabinet member in US history to

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: be impeached. The first came nearly one hundred and fifty

35
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: years ago. The effort is likely to die in the Senate,

36
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: where a two thirds majority is needed to remove may

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: Orcus from office.

38
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: Man staying in Washington, Amy Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is

39
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,920

00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 5: The doctors at Walter Reed Medical Center say they identified

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 5: what was causing him pain and the bladder issue related

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 5: to his prostate surgery was rectified in a non surgical procedure.

45
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 5: They say the prognosis from his prostate cancer surgery is

46
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 5: still good. Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh says he

47
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 5: will participate in the Virtual Ukraine Defense Contact Group because

48
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,280

53
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Ed. Turning now to the markets.

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: We start overseas, where an inflation surprise in the UK

55
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: is giving a boost to British docks. Data show UK

56
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: consumer prizes rose less than expected in January, largely due

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: to downward trends in the cost of food and household goods.

58
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: We get more from Bloomberg's Lizzie Burden.

59
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 7: In London, inflation has unexpectedly held steady at four percent

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 7: when economists thought it would rise. Core inflation was lower

61
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 7: than economist's thought five point one percent, and even the

62
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 7: monthly number for inflation came in at zero point six percent,

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 7: so double the expected drop. So I can hear the

64
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 7: relief from the Bank of England and I can hear

65
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 7: it on Downing Street as well.

66
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Lizzie Burden notes the data has traders moving up

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: bets for a rate cut from the Bank of England.

68
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: The pound weakened on the news, currently trading at one

69
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: point two five thirty nine against the dollar.

70
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: And back here in the US, Amy, we are coming

71
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: off a tough day for stocks. The S and P

72
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: five hundred fell one point three percent after hot US

73
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: inflation data pushed back bets for a FED rate cut.

74
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,240

Speaker 3: Bouvaugh is head of black Rock Investment Institute.

76
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 8: The market is overreacting. That has been the story for

77
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 8: the last eighteen months. We've seen that in December with

78
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 8: the shocker FMC massive rally right and now that was overextended.

79
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 8: I think that's getting corrected as we speak. But I

80
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 8: think the broader story will be one where in fish

81
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 8: is going to continue to trend down over the next

82
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:11,520

106
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,239

Speaker 12: The Celtics forty two and twelve. They got forty one

168
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 12: points from Jason Tatum. They beat the Nets one eighteen

169
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:34,719

170
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 5: Ten.

171
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 12: Seeing two teams play tonight in Boston, Knicks play tonight

172
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 12: in Orlando. The Nick injuries continue there without their top

173
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 12: two centers, their entire starting front court is injured, and

174

Speaker 6: Nicks come off the.

177
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 12: Heartbreaker in Houston when the foul that the NBA admits

178
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 12: should not have been called was called at the end

179
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 12: of the game. The Knicks app filed the protest, but

180
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 12: protests can't be upheld based on a miss only the

181
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 12: misapplication of a rule on the ice Devils with three

182
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 12: and the third one four to two at Nashville Islanders

Speaker 12: Seattle two to one. Saint John's lost that Providence seventy

185

Speaker 12: five seventy two. Red Storm have now dropped seven of

186
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 12: the last nine. They stormed the court at Syracuse after

187
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 12: an upset win over seventh rank North Carolina. In Fort

Speaker 12: Saint Lucie today, met pitchers and catchers report the big

189
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,680

190
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 12: by former Yankee bench coach Carlos Mendoza. Here he was

191
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 12: at his presser last fall.

192
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 13: I'm not just creating a new goalship.

193
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 8: People need to understand that this is a team that

194
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 8: won one Hungred games nuts Lonigal and they started to

195
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 8: create something special.

196
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 13: And I'm coming in to continue to.

197
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 10: Out to dot Coulture.

198
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 12: Nets did win one hundred and one games in twenty

199
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 12: twenty two, but only seventy five wins last season, and

200
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 12: they were relatively quiet in the offseason. Yankee pitchers and

201
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 12: catchers report tomorrow and Tampa. A lot of free agents

202
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 12: have yet to sign, but after the Joorge, Solare did

203
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 12: sign with the Giants. He had thirty six homers last

204
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 12: year in Miami. Johns Stanshaward Bloomberg Sports.

208
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. The special election results are

209
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 3: in and the margins and the House are about to

210
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: get even thinner. Democrat Tom Swazi has prevailed over Republican

211
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 3: Mazi Melissa Phillip in New York's third congressional district and

212
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: the race to move past a disgraced Republican former Congressman

213
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: George Santos. Bloomberg Politics contributor Geenie she Sheenzano joins us

214
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: early this morning after election night in the New York Third.

215
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: But I'm guessing, Genie that you weren't staying up too

216
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 3: late to watch the results come in. Even with the

217
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: polls pretty tight, it seems like it didn't take a

218
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: whole lot of time for the Associated Press to call

219
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: this race. So what was the decisive factor here for

220
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: Tom Swase?

221
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 11: You know, I think the decisive factor for Suase was

222
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 11: there were a few things. Number one is that he

223
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 11: was able to counter this race in terms of immigration,

224
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 11: and so much of this race focused on immigration. He

225
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 11: was able to say to his opponent, and he was

226
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 11: able to say to Republicans at voters that he is

227
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 11: a moderate and that he wants to work across the

228
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 11: aisle to deal with the issue of immigration, which, let's

229
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 11: face it, for New Yorkers is a very big issue.

230
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 11: One hundred and seventy thousand migrants in the city now,

231
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 11: and so he was able to contest that. But the

232
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 11: other thing he was able to do is he was

233
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 11: able to say that he is somebody who they know.

234
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 11: He's a known quality quantity rather for people on Long

235
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 11: Island and in this New York Third District, And of

236
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 11: course they are just out of having been served by

237
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 11: George Santos, and so would they really want to take

238
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 11: a chance on somebody unknown like Mazi Philip Pillup.

239
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 9: And of course the answer turned out to be no.

240
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 11: So he was also helped by the fact that he

241
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 11: is a known quantity in that district.

242
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: When it comes to the immigration issue, Genie, I mean,

243
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: it's got to resonate differently in a place like New

244
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 3: York or the New York suburbs, like the Third District,

245
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 3: that it does in a lot of other districts across

246
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: the country. Right, So can we see this as a

247
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: bell weather for the rest of the country, given how

248
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 3: immigration might play differently in different parts of the country.

249
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know if we can see it as

250
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 11: a bell weather, but it does give democrats in districts

251
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 11: like this, and there are a lot of them across

252
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 11: the country, a map and a way forward as they

253
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 11: contest in November, and that is not to shy away

254
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 11: from this issue. And this was one thing Swazi did

255
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 11: very well is he did not say, you know, oh,

256
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 11: I'm going to give this issue to the Republicans.

257
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 9: He took it on. He said, close the border.

258
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 11: He said, due to the violence that has occurred in

259
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 11: New York City at the hands of migrants, they should

260
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 11: be deported. He said he would have supported that bill

261
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 11: that came up just the other week in Congress that

262
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 11: the Republicans shot down. And I think that is a

263
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 11: big issue for voters, is the fact that there was

264
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 11: a solution, and by all sort of accounts, it was

265
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 11: everything Republicans had asked for, a really tough bipartisan immigration

266
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 11: security bill, and they didn't go for it because it

267
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 11: would have hurt Donald Trump at the ballot in November.

268
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 11: And that's something Swazi raised over and over again. So

269
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 11: those factors, I think are things that other Democrats running

270
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 11: in purple districts can look at and use as they

271
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 11: try to handle what's going to be a tough issue

272
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 11: for them going forward in November.

273
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: It was interesting to hear from some voters that we

274
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 3: spoke to saying or suggesting that they were voting for Swazi,

275
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 3: not necessarily for him, but against Republicans the idea that

276
00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: they could affect abortion rights, that they could undermine democracy

277
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 3: the way that democratic voters are seeing it. What could

278
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: that say about races going forward into November.

279
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, and that was the other thing, is this issue

280
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 11: of abortion and democracy. You know, there was one debate

281
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 11: in this campaign, and Mazzi Phillips struggled a bit on

282
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 11: the issue of abortion. She was pinned down on whether

283
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 11: she was pro choice. She is clearly personally pro life,

284
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 11: but she was unable or unwilling to say that she

285
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 11: disagreed with the decision. And Dobbs she did say that

286
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 11: it is a woman's choice, but it was hard to

287
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 11: pin down where.

288
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 9: She was on that issue.

289
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 11: And that's something that we've seen in the special elections

290
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 11: that have occurred since Dobbs across the country has played

291
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 11: well for Democrats. So between that and concerns about January

292
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,359
Speaker 11: sixth and the future of democracy, it's something that Democrats

293
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 11: are going to be talking about. And you know who

294
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 11: wasn't raised a lot in this race was Donald Trump,

295
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 11: So he didn't become much of an issue, and of

296
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 11: course neither did Joe Biden, who neither campaigned for Tom swase.

297
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 9: And who Tom Swasee even called old. So he did.

298
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 11: Distance himself from the unpopular president, and Donald Trump was

299
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 11: not as much of a factor, which made this erase

300
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 11: about what's impacting the people in New York three and

301
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 11: the voters had a chance to think about that. Of course,

302
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 11: we also have to say Tom Swasee may have been.

303
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 9: Helped by the snowstorm.

304
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 11: Early voting tends to help Democrats in the storm yesterday

305
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 11: made it hard for Republicans to get out in as

306
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 11: many numbers as they may have otherwise.
