1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: News when you wanted with Bloomberg News and now I'm

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Doug Prisoner. The US government shutdown appears to be nearing

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: an end. Tonight, the Senate took the first step with

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: passage of a procedural vote. It advances three government funding

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: bills for next year. This is after a group of

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: eight moderate Senate Democrats voted in favor. None of the bills, however,

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: address the impending expiration of subsidies for the Affordable Care Act.

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Even so, Democrats have secured a pledge by Republicans to

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: vote on a bill to renew the ACA tax credits

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: by mid December. Angus King is independent senator from Maine

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: who caucuses with the Democrats. Here is King on why

12
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: he voted in favor of this deal.

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: So the question before us, for those of us here

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: who decided to vote yes tonight, the question was does

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: the shutdown further the goal of achieving some needed support

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: for the extension of the tax credits. Our judgment was

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: that it will not. It would not produce that result,

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: and the evidence for that is almost seven weeks of

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: fruitless attempts to make that happen. It would it change

20
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: in a week or another week? Or after Thanksgiving or Christmas,

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: and there's no evidence that it.

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: Would at is Angus King, independent Senator from Maine. Meantime,

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: US airlines canceled more than twenty one hundred flights today,

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: mostly because of the shutdown and the FAA's order to

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: reduce air traffic. The slow down at forty of the

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: nation's busiest airports is now in its third day. On

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: Sunday alone, there were more than seven thousand additional flight delays,

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: and today Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said air travel would

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: come to a virtual standstill during the Thanksgiving holiday. Here's

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Duffy on Fox News Sunday.

31
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: As I look two weeks out, as we get closer

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: to Thanksgiving, travel listen, I think what's going to happen

33
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: is you're going to have air travel slow to a trickle.

34
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: Everyone wants to travel to see their families. I think

35
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: we're going to see our traffic controllers very few of

36
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: them coming to work, which means, yes, you'll have a

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: few flights taken off and landing at our different airports

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: across the country. But the thousands of flights that happen

39
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 3: every day to move people around the country for this

40
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: great American holiday, it's not going to happen.

41
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is speaking to Fox News Sunday.

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: The Trump administration has told states to immediately undo any

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: action they've taken to fully fund November Snap benefits. On Saturday,

44
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: the USDA issued the directive and said that states that

45
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,279
Speaker 1: don't comply could face financial penalties. This creates further uncertainty

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: around the food assistance program supporting forty two million Americans.

47
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: Here is Maryland Governor Wes Moore speaking on CBS Face

48
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: the Nation.

49
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 4: They have money for everything. They got money to fight wars,

50
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 4: they got money for ballrooms, they got money for everything.

51
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 4: But when it comes to supporting the American people, that's

52
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: now when they are crying, Well, we're broke, and that's

53
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 4: not what the law requires us to do.

54
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: Maryland Governor more speaking on CBS Face the Nation. Two

55
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: Major League baseball pitchers have been indicted on charges they

56
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: took bribes to give Sportspeedder's advanced notice on the types

57
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: of pitches they'd throw. Emmanuel Class and Luis Ortiz both

58
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: pitched for the Cleveland Guardians. They are accused of intentionally

59
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: tossing balls instead of strikes. To ensure successful bets. Earlier today,

60
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: class and Ortes were charged with fraud, conspiracy, and bribery.

61
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: Now prosecutor say Ortes was arrested Sunday morning in Boston

62
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: and he will appear in court on Monday. Class A

63
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: is not yet in custody. President Trump is suggesting most

64
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: Americans may receive a tariff dividend of at least two

65
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, and today US Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said

66
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the president's suggestion could come through tax cuts passed and

67
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: the Economic Policy Bill earlier this year. Appearing this morning

68
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: on ABC's This Week, Besson said he hadn't spoken to

69
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: the President about this idea, but the two thousand dollars

70
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: dividend could come in lots of forms, in lots of ways.

71
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 5: It could be just the tax decreases that we are

72
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 5: seeing on the President's agenda. You know, no tax on tips,

73
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 5: no tax on overtime, no tax on solid security, deductibility

74
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 5: of auto loans, so you know, those are substantial deductions

75
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 5: that are being financed in the tax bill.

76
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, speaking on ABC's This Week for

77
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: the first time in more than eighty years, a Syrian

78
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: leader is coming to the White House. Bloomberg's Nathan Hager

79
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: has a preview from Washington.

80
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 6: Syrian President Akhmed al Sharah will meet with President Trump

81
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 6: on Monday, less than a year after the one time

82
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 6: Islamist rebel overthrow Bashar al Assad's dictatorship. This will be

83
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 6: Shara's second meeting with the President. The first in Saudi

84
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 6: Arabia in May led to a promise to lift US sanctions.

85
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 6: Sharraz hoping to secure more relief this week and to

86
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 6: get more US help against Israeli incursions into Syria as

87
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 6: President Trump hopes to bring Syria into the Abraham Accord

88
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 6: and normalize relations with Israel. In Washington, I'm Nathan Hager,

89
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 6: Bloomberg Radio.

90
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: Earlier today, Blue Origin delayed a planned second flight of

91
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: its New Glen rocket. The Jeff Bezos backed space company

92
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: cited weather conditions and unspecified issues with ground equipment. It's

93
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: unclear when the company will reattempt the flight. As a

94
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: result of the government shutdown, the FAA last week issued

95
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: an emergency directive banning commercial launches and re entries during

96
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: a time window in which a backup launch of New

97
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: Glen was planned. Now a successful flight would put Blue

98
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: Origin back on track to challenge the grip that Elon

99
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Musk's SpaceX company has on the rocket business. And that

100
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: is news when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now,

101
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm Doug Prisoner and this is Bloomberg
