Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: Good Morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 3: Karen, we begin with politics.

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 4: With less than a week to go until a possible

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 4: government shut down, the White House is telling federal agencies

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 4: to make plans well beyond what they've done in the past.

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: We get the story from Bloomberg's Genus Cervetti.

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 5: The White House Budget Office is telling agencies to plan

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 5: for mass firings during a shutdown. In the past, government

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 5: workers deemed non essential have been furloughed and brought back

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 5: when funding is restored, usually with back pay. This time,

13
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 5: a White House memo is directing agencies to identify programs

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 5: with discretionary funding that's set to lapse, then draft plans

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 5: to eliminate jobs that don't align with Trump administration priorities.

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 5: House Minority Leader Hakeeen Jeffries posted on x that Democrats

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 5: won't be intimidated by the threat of mass firings. President

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 5: Trump canceled plans to meet with Democrats today on avoiding

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 5: a shutdown. Funds are set to lapse this Wednesday. Gina

Speaker 5: Servetti Bloomberg Radio.

21
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 2: Gina thank you at top judiciary official as warning federal

22
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: courts will run out of money to fully operate as

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: soon as next week if Congress fails to avoid a

24
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: government shutdown. Judge Robert Conrad says the judiciary has funds

25
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: to sustain operations through October third, but tight budgets have

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: reduced the ability to extend operations.

27
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 4: Later today, Karen, President Trump meets with the leaders of

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: Turkey and Pakistan. He'll welcome Turkish president Retship tie Up

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 4: Ertawan late in the morning. Ertawan is helping to reset

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 4: ties that have been shaken by tariffs and Turkey's purchases

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 4: of Russian weapons. Turkish officials say today's meeting could clear

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: the path for more than fifty billion dollars of deals

33
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: on US liquified natural gas, Lockheed Martin fighter jets, and

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 4: Boeing planes. Then this afternoon, President Trump meets with Pakistan's

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif. Pakistan's leaders have nominated President Trump

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: for the Nobel Peace Prize. They've credited him with brokering

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 4: a ceasefire with India in May. Pakistan has secured a

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 4: nineteen percent terrifreight with the US, much lower than India's

39
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: rate of fifty percent.

40
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: Let's turn to Late Night Now, Nathan and Jimmy Kimmels

41
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: returned to TV drew his biggest audience ever. At the

42
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: same time, though ABC is preparing for a legal battle

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: and blimberge. John Tucker joins us with the details. John,

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: good morning, and Hey, let's start with those ratings for

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: the show. What did they show?

46
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 6: Well, Karen, six point two six million people tuned in

47
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 6: to see Jimmy Kimme alive.

48
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 7: We are back to work doing our show.

49
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 6: Compare that to one point five to five million viewers

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 6: the show has averaged this year. This according to Nielsen Data. Well,

51
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 6: the numbers don't include viewers who watched the program on

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 6: streaming services, and the total was particularly high considering that

53
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 6: next Our Media and Sinclaire, two large owners of ABC affiliates,

54
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 6: didn't air the show. Together, they reach about twenty five

55
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 6: three percent of US households. Now, as far as the

56
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 6: legal issues, ABC parent Walt Disney preparing for President Trump

57
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 6: to retaliate the companies, anticipating the Trump administration might go

58
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 6: after its broadcast TV licenses. Disney's also seeking regulatory approval

59
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 6: from federal agencies for two deals, one to acquire media

60
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 6: assets from the NFL, another to merge with Pooboo TV

61
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 6: with its Hulu Live TV service. Last year, Disney did cave,

62
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 6: paying sixteen million dollars to settle a lawsuit brought by

63
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 6: the President over alleged defamatory comments made by ABC News

64
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 6: hosts George Stephanopoulos, You Know York on John Tucker Bloomberg Radio.

65
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: All right, John, thank you, turning to the economy now.

66
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: Jobless claims, trade and durable goods orders will be released

67
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: later this morning, but the real market focus may be

68
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: on the enormous number of FED speakers we'll be hearing

69
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: from today. Let's get the details from Bloomberg's Michael McKee.

70
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 8: By the end of this week, there should be no

71
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 8: question about where individual FED policymakers stand on rap cuts,

72
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 8: regulation and the dollar. Fourteen of the nineteen members of

73
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 8: the Rate Setting Open Market Committee are speaking, including seven today.

74
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 8: New Governor Stephen Myron leads off with an interview on

75
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 8: Bloomberg Radio this morning, followed by Chicago's Austin Goulsby, Kansas

76
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 8: Cities Jeffrey Schmid, Governors Mickey Bowman, and Michael Barr Lori

77
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 8: Logan of Dallas, and Mary Daily of San Francisco. What

78
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 8: will we learn if CHREMYN. Powell's comments earlier this week

79
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 8: are any indication. Maybe not much. We've not had much

80
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 8: in the way of economic data that could shape the

81
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 8: vote at the end of next month. Michael McKee Bloomberg Radio.

82
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: San Francisco FED President Mary Daly says further interest rate

83
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: cuts are likely needed, but the Central Bank should approach

84
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: those with caution. Daily spoke at an event at the

85
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: University of Utah.

86
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 9: Now, my own view is that further policy adjustments are likely.

87
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 9: Will they come right now this year, are going forward?

88
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 9: It's hard to say. But what's really important is that

89
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 9: making those policy adjustments will likely be required to balance

90
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 9: both of our goals. Keep pressure on inflation to bring

91
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 9: it to price stability, and offer support to the labor

92
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 9: market to ensure that it stays near full employment.

93
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: San Francisco FED President Mary Daily says she fully supported

94
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: this Central Bank's decision less we to cut interest rates

95
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: for the first time since December.

96
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 4: Looking at the equity markets this morning, Karen futures are

97
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: kind of taking a breather this morning, following back to

98
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 4: back losses on Wall Street. Amanda Agatti is chief Investment

99
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: Officer of Asset Management at P and C Banks.

100
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: She remains bullish.

101
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 10: With the FED and rate cutting mode here. The backdrop

102
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 10: is pretty supportive for markets, but I think at some point,

103
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 10: you know, things are going to get a little bit choppy.

104
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 10: You know, we can't be priced for perfection here in

105
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 10: a backdrop that is not necessarily perfect. But I do

106
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 10: think that the earnings growth backdrop in particular looks really

107
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 10: interesting and somewhat bullish heading into twenty twenty six.

108
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 4: P and C Bank's Amanda Gotti says stocks may rise

109
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: another three to five percent by the end of this year.

110
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: In company news, Nathan Intel shares are up another three

111
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: and a half percent this morning, following yesterday's six percent gain.

112
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: Bloomberg News has learned that chip maker is seeking an

113
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: investment from Apple. We're told it's part of Intel's effort

114
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 2: to bolster business now that it's partially owned by the

115
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 2: US government. Bloomberg's Ryan Gould broke the story.

116
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 11: This obviously comes on the back of both the US

117
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 11: government investing in Intel directly one of its largest shareholders,

118
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 11: and also would potentially follow a five billion dollar investment

119
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 11: from both in Nvidia and a two billion dollar investment

120
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 11: from SoftBank. I guess one way to put this all

121
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 11: together is you know Intel is on the comeback.

122
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: And Bloomber's Ryan Gould reports Intel also has reached out

123
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: to other companies about possible investments and partnerships.

124
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 4: And Karen HSBC says it's made a tech breakthrough deploying

125
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 4: quantum computing in financial markets. The bank says it's the

126
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 4: first time real trades have been used at scale to

127
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 4: show the potential benefits of this emerging technology. Bloomberg's Tiwa

128
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 4: Autubio has more from London.

129
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 12: Now, this wasn't live trading, it was a trial. It

130
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 12: was also a collaboration with IBM. They used their most

131
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 12: advanced heron quantum processor and they say that that shows

132
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 12: they're able to attain a thirty four percent improvement in

133
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 12: predicting how likely a bond will trade at a given price.

134
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: That was Bloomberg's Tiwa Audobio.

135
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: Time now for a look at some of the other

136
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: stories making news in New York and around the world,

137
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: and for that were joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr or

138
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: Michael good Morning, Good.

139
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 13: Morning, Karen. The motives of a shooter who authorities say

140
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 13: opened fire from a roof on to a us ICE

141
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 13: location in Dallas remain unclear. The man used rifle to

142
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 13: kill one detainee and wound two others in a transport

143
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 13: man before taking his own life. The suspected gunman has

144
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 13: been identified as Joshua John and was twenty nine years old.

145
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 13: Authorities say he seemed to fire indiscriminately. The FBI said

146
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 13: ammunition found at the scene contained anti ICE messaging. Vice

147
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 13: President JD. Van spoke about deadly shooting, calling it politically motivated.

148
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 14: You don't have to agree with Donald Trump's immigration policies,

149
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 14: but if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement,

150
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 14: you can go straight to hell and you have no

151
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 14: place in the political conversation of the United States of America.

152
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 13: House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries also commented on the shooting,

153
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 13: saying the level of political violence in the country is

154
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 13: far too high.

155
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 7: We need leadership that brings people together, not national leadership that.

156
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 3: Tears people apart.

157
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 13: Authority say no ICE agents were injured and the surviving

158
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 13: detainees are in critical condition. The NVPD arrested a man

159
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 13: after a tourist was killed and her husband was critically

160
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 13: injured after they were struck by a vehicle in midtown Manhattan.

161
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 13: It happened yesterday afternoon at fortieth Street and Fifth Anue.

162
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 13: According to police, a blue Toyota van hit the pedestrians,

163
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 13: believed to be tourists from Germany, and then fled the scene.

164
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 13: The woman, also in her fifties, died at the scene.

165
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 13: Her husband is in critical condition. The driver, a forty

166
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 13: year old man, was arrested at Eighth Avenue and West

167
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 13: thirty eighth Street. Palestinian leader Mak moved to Boss will

168
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 13: speak before the UN General Assembly today. The Boss will

169
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 13: speak virtually. Yesterday, Ukraine's President vladimir's Lenski told the UN

170
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 13: that international diplomacy is failing his country and that the

171
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 13: only way to stop the fighting is to fight back militarily.

172
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 15: As Russia's war against my country goes on, people are

173
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 15: still dying every week, Yet there is no cease fire

174
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 15: because Russia refuses.

182
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,800

183
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 16: and fifty one on the season. The Yankees beat the

Speaker 16: White Sox nine to one and they move into a

185
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 16: tie for first place in the AL East with Toronto.

186
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 16: And then in Seattle, Cal Riley with two home runs

187
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 16: numbers fifty nine and sixty the Mariners beat the Rockies

188
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 16: nine to two. They've won sixty to the last seventeen.

189
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 16: Seattle has clinched the AL West. They're three teams vying

190
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 16: to make the last playoff spot in the National League.

191
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: All lost.

192
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 16: The Mets remade one game ahead of the Reds and Diamondbacks.

193
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: That's the Bloomberg Sports Update.

194
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: Stay with us more from Bloomberg day Break coming up

195
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: after this.

196
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM,

197
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the

198
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Business opp This is Bloomberg Daybreak.

199
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager.

200
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 4: Six days to go until a possible government shut down

201
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 4: in Washington, and the White House is apparently telling agencies

202
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 4: to make more drastic preparations than they've done before. A

203
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 4: memo has gone out calling for mass firings if they

204
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: can't reach an agreement with Democrats by Wednesday. House Minordi

205
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 4: Leader Hakim Jeffrey says Democrats are still willing to negotiate.

206
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 7: If the government shuts down, it will shut down because

207
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 7: Donald Trump and Republicans in the House and the Senate

208
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 7: have made that decision so intentionally inflict pain on the

209
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 7: American people.

210
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: It was House Minoriti Leader Hakim Jeffries.

211
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 4: For more on this, we're joined by Bloomberg News editor

212
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 4: Alexander Pearson and Alexando In the past, when there have

213
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 4: been government shut downs, the non essential workers get furloughed

214
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 4: and then when the funding comes back, they usually get

215
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 4: back pay. But this memo about mass firings does seem

216
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 4: to take things pretty far.

217
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 17: Good morning, Yeah, good morning, Nathan, thanks for having me. Yeah,

218
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 17: that's right. Previously, non essential workers usually we get furlowed

219
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 17: in this kind of situation and then return and get

220
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 17: back pay. But this memo from the Office of Management

221
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,599
Speaker 17: and Budget, which was sent out yesterday to federal agencies

222
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 17: actually outlines or actually asked for plans to fire those

223
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 17: non essential workers or at least some of them, but

224
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 17: are not aligned with Trump administration priorities. If there is

225
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 17: no government funding resolution by the end of the month,

226
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 17: and that certainly is you know, new and quite a

227
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 17: significant move by this administration.

228
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 4: Of course, this comes just a couple of days after

229
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 4: President Trump was set to meet with Democrats at the

230
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: White House to try to come to some kind of

231
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 4: impass around the healthcare demands that Democrats have made.

232
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: That meeting has been called off.

233
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 4: Could we view this as potentially a negotiating tactic on

234
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 4: the White House's part.

235
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think that's accurate. I think this is most

236
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 17: likely an attempt by the administration to up the ante

237
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 17: on Congressional Democrats who haven't budged from the provisions that

238
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 17: they want to add to the stopgap measure to fund

239
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 17: the government. And certainly, you know, if Democrats will not

240
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 17: be wanted to be seen to be the party that

241
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 17: a were associated with the government shut down, but also

242
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 17: a government shutdown that could lead to mass firings of

243
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 17: federal employees, especially after all of the firings that have

244
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 17: occurred in the federal government since the Trump administration took

245
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 17: office in January.

246
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we've seen reports that those firings have been

247
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 4: reversed in some cases that some agencies may have felt

248
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 4: like the layoffs went too far. Where are Democrats on

249
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 4: this right now? What is the reaction from the Democratic

250
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 4: Party to this memo?

251
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 17: Right now? The reaction has been, you know, understandably hostile.

252
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 17: Hakim Jeffries tweeted out overnight responding to a report on

253
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 17: this memo that you know, this was unacceptable was essentially

254
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 17: his message to Russell Void, the head of the Office

255
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 17: of Management and Budget. So their message is very much,

256
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 17: you know, we're not intimidated by this tactic. We're going

257
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 17: to continue making the demands that we've been making to

258
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 17: fund the government past September thirtieth. So that's the message

259
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 17: right now. Whether you know they'll be able to stick

260
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 17: to that for the next few days, you know, which

261
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 17: we have.

262
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 4: To see and in just thirty seconds, I mean, if

263
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 4: this layoff a process goes forward, I.

264
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: Mean that could have a major economic impact, couldn't it.

265
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 17: That's true? Yeah, I mean, you know, government spending obviously

266
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 17: makes up quite a significant chunk of economic activity, particularly

267
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 17: the federal government. So you know, the longer a shutdown

268
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 17: drives on, the more of an impact it can have

269
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 17: on overall economic activity. So you know, both sides will

270
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 17: ultimately want to come to a resolution if it comes

271
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 17: to a shutdown, but obviously they want to avoid a

272
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 17: shutdown to begin with. So the next few days are

273
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 17: going to be very interesting to see who might, you know,

274
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 17: compromise first to try and get.

275
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 13: To a resolution.
