This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. 216 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: On a day when two major speeches are in focus 217 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: for markets. FED Chair Jerome Powell speaks in Washington this afternoon, 218 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: and then tonight President Biden delivers his second State of 219 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: the Union address. The message he intends to send inflation 220 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: is trending lower and jobs are on the rise. Top 221 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: White House Economic advisor Brian Deese is hammering that message home, 222 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: even as we've seen real progress and inflation coming down 223 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: over the last six months. In particular, we have more 224 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: work to do to bring prices down on lower costs 225 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: and create some breathing room, as he says, for American families. 226 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: National Economic Council director Brian Deese and this morning where 227 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: you're joined by Terry Haynes, the founder of Pangia Policy. Terry, 228 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: Good morning. It seems as though when you look at 229 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: the polls, the president has some work to do as 230 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: well on bringing that message to Americans that the economy 231 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: is working. Why do you think it hasn't been delivered 232 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: in the way that the president might like up to 233 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: this point. Good morning, Good morning, Nathan. And yeah, it's remarkable, 234 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: isn't it. Uh. You know, one of the ways that 235 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: the President's been talking about this speech is the opportunity 236 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: to make our case quote unquote, And usually making your 237 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: case comes before enacting Paul season instead of afterwards. Uh. Yeah, 238 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: they don't get a lot of credit and uh and 239 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: then they get a and for the good things, they 240 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: get a lot of credit for the angst And to 241 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: some extent, I think that's the lot of presidents everywhere. 242 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: But in part it's because Biden has not really been 243 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: at the forefront of pushing individual policies or or or 244 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: getting them put together through negotiations and uh, and really 245 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: has been the forefront of kind of presenting them in 246 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: a unified way as things that he's doing to make 247 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: life better. Do you expect that to change as we 248 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: had through the second half of the president's term at 249 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: a time when you could presumably be focusing on a 250 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: re election campaign. Well, I think he's already starting to 251 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: do that. Yeah. You know, they clearly want to be 252 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: able to to take credit for what they can take 253 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: credit for, and you know that's as old as the presidency. Uh. 254 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: But so they will start making their case and already 255 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: have as you know, more work to be done. But 256 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: we've done all these things so far. Even though what 257 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: they've done is you know, really uh put the FED 258 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: into place and have given the FED the responsibility for 259 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: attacking inflation, uh and uh and putting together this inflation 260 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: reduction actors really doesn't do much. Um. And you know, 261 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: the signals from the speech so far really are that 262 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: he's going to focus on proposing things that are red 263 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: meat for the base, like stock buy backs and the 264 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: like that won't get enacted, as opposed to things that 265 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: might be inactable. So uh, you know, net net, you're 266 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: not gonna see much more in the in terms of 267 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: uh push from the Biden administration on things that will 268 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: actually mitigate inflation and make the life better for average Americans. 269 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: And ahead of the speech we heard from how Speaker 270 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy to putting the debt ceiling back in focus. 271 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: How much is the ongoing and looming fight over the 272 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: nation's debt limit overshadowing tonight's address. Well, ye know, there's 273 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: a lot of things overshadowing tonight's address. The Chinese balloon 274 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: for one, of course, and that because that brings up 275 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: all kinds of issues and problems relating to the national 276 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: security and national defense. Uh. You know, my view of 277 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: this has been that where the debt ceiling resolution finally 278 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: comes from in the summertime is probably from centrists, uh, 279 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: to boil it down. You're looking much more at a 280 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: kind of Senate centrist House centrist Joe Manchin ish kind 281 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: of play, uh than you are by having Biden and 282 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: McCarthy to actually resolve things. And I think that's ultimately 283 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: where this goes. UH done nothing that either President Biden 284 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: or Speaker McCarthy says this week UH is going to 285 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: move the needle on debt ceiling because both of them 286 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: think there's political advantage and stringing this thing out as 287 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: long as possible. Frankly so we're gonna get some brinksmanship. 288 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: That is finally in the summer time, I think in 289 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: the royal markets a little bit. In our last minute here, Terry, 290 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: given all the attention on the Chinese balloon this week, 291 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: how much do you expect the President to take a 292 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: tougher line on China in this address, given all the 293 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: moves that he's made up to now in the economic 294 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: front against China. I think what you'll hear from the 295 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: President is kind of a recitation of all the things 296 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: that have happened so far, both from a national security 297 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: perspective and from an economic perspective, chips manufacturing, reshoring, and 298 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: all those sorts of things. But you know, the administration, 299 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: but more importantly, I think the defense establishment, UH have 300 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: a lot of questions to answer what we've Uh listeners 301 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: shouldn't miss that what is going on with the balloon 302 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: now isn't so much a you know, Biden versus Trump 303 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: what about is and but what it is has to 304 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: do with whether the defense establishment ever identified these things 305 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: back in the day and what they're doing about the now. 306 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak today, your morning brief on the 307 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 308 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 309 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 310 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: get your podcasts.
