1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Doug Krisner, and we begin in Arizona, where an individual

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: described by authorities as a person of interest is being

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: questioned regarding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. We are told

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: the individual was apprehended near Rio Rico, Arizona. It lies

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: on the Mexican border south of Tucson. Now, this case

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: took a dramatic turn earlier in the day when the

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: FBI released photo and video images of the possible suspect

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: outside Nancy Guthrie's home near Tucson. A video posted on

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: x shows a masked individual wearing gloves approaching the front

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: door with what appears to be a handgun in a holster,

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: as well as a large backpack. We go to Canada next,

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: where at least eight individuals, including the suspected shooter, are

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: dead in a shooting at the tumbler Ridge Secondary School

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: in British Columbia. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police also said

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: twenty seven have been injured. Separately, investigators identified a secondary

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: residents believed to be connected to the shooting incident at

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: the school, where an additional two individuals were found deceased.

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: House lawmakers could vote as soon as later this week

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: on whether to reject some of President Trump's tariff policies.

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: The votes are set to come after the House rejected

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: a last ditch effort from Speaker Mike Johnson to prevent them.

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: Democrats and a trio of Republicans oppose the attempt at

24
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: another delay. We go next to the latest fallout from

25
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: the dojay's release of the Epstein files. Commerce Secretary Howard

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: Lutnick has come under fire for his appearance in the files.

27
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: Lutnick said he did visit Epstein's private island in twenty twelve,

28
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: after Epstein was convicted as a sex offender. Here's an

29
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: exchange between Maryland Senator Chris van Holland and Lutnick. Did

30
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: you in fact make the visit to Jeffrey Epstein's private island.

31
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: I did have lunch with him, as I was on

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife

33
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: was with me, as were my four children and nanny's

34
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: I had another couple. They were there as well with

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: their children, and we had lunch on the island.

36
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: Now Lutnik is facing calls to resign over his relationship

37
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: with Epstein, since the file show the relationship was more

38
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: extensive than Lutnik previously revealed. The White House said today

39
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: that President Trump has no plans to remove Lutnik from

40
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: his post. The brother of Elon Musk, Kimball, was connected

41
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: with at least two women through Jeffrey Epstein. Emails released

42
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: by the Department of Justice show an easy rapport between

43
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: Kimball Musk and Epstein as they discussed party plans, relationships,

44
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: and whether Musk would be able to visit Epstein's island.

45
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: In a statement, Kimball Musk said his only meeting with

46
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: Epstein was in his New York office during the day.

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: We moved to Business News next after the bell. Ford

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: said it's expecting profit to jump this year after the

49
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: company was saddled with a surprise tariff bill at the

50
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: end of last year. More from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett.

51
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: CFO Sherry House told reporters an unexpected change in tariff

52
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 3: provisions cost Ford about nine hundred million in savings that

53
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: expected last year. But looking ahead, Stephanie Valdi Streety, the

54
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: director of industry Insights at Cox Automotive, says Ford is

55
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: in good shape.

56
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 4: I think they're going to be well positioned. They're going

57
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 4: to recover from the novelle's fire. They have a lot

58
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 4: of hybrids in place, and if you look at twenty

59
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 4: twenty five sales, they are up six percent.

60
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: Ford expects profit will rise even as it contends with

61
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: ongoing turmoil tied to tariffs and its money losing ev

62
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: business in New York. Charlie Pellett, Bloomberg Radio.

63
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: Paramount skuid Dance has enhanced its hostile takeover offer for

64
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers Discovery. In a statement, Paramount said it will

65
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: cover the termination fee that Warner will have to pay

66
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: Netflix if it were to end that already agreed upon deal,

67
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 1: and Paramount will also backstop a Warner Brothers debt financing.

68
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: Here is Bloomberg analyst Geeta Roganathan.

69
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 5: I think this is just Paramount exhausting all of its

70
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 5: options before you know, they actually raise the bid. But

71
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 5: in my mind, what this signals is, yes, they did

72
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 5: stop short of actually raising that thirty dollars bid, but

73
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 5: I do think that the signals that they are willing

74
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 5: to kind of go back to the table and probably

75
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 5: raise that bid. As you know, kind of this thing

76
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 5: keeps dragging on.

77
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg analyst Geeta Raganathan. Incidentally, Warner Brothers said

78
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: it will review the amended tender offer and make a

79
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: recommendation to a shareholders afterward. At the same time, the

80
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: activist investor and Cora has reportedly built a roughly two

81
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar steak in Warner Brothers. The Wall Street

82
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: Journal reports and Coorra is planning to oppose Warner's deal

83
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: to sell its movie and TV studios, as well as

84
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: its HBO Max streaming service to Netflix. The Journal reports

85
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: and Cora believes that Warner failed to adequate engage with

86
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: paramount Skydance after it made a rival all cash offer

87
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: for Warner's entire business. And that is news when you

88
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: want it with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm Doug Prisoner, and
