1 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: News when you want it. With Bloomberg News Now, I'm 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: Brian Curtis Well. President Biden has appealed to the American 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: people directly to support funding for Israel and Ukraine's war efforts. 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: He also warned that Hamas and Russian President Vadimir Putin 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: post parallel threats to democracy. 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 2: When America experienced the hell of nine to eleven, we 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: fell and raised as well. While we sought and got justice, 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: we made mistakes. So I cautioned the government of Israel 9 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: not to be blinded by rage. 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: The speech precedes a White House request that Congress provide 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: roughly one hundred billion dollars in resources they would go 12 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: to Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and the US southern border. In 13 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: the meantime, US Ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns has called 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: on President Shijin Ping's government to denounce terrorism by Hamas. 15 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 3: We have a lot of challenges in the US China relationship. 16 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 3: We do not have identical views on this particular position. 17 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 3: Hamas does not support the two state solution. Hamas supports 18 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,839 Speaker 3: the destruction of the state of Israel. China has taken 19 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 3: a position of supporting the two state solution, as has 20 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 3: the United States, and so obviously the focus here should 21 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: be directed against. 22 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: Hamas US Ambassador to China. Nicholas Burns, in an exclusive 23 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: interview with Bloomberg Well, Round three for Jim Jordan's quest 24 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: to be how Speaker has been scheduled for this morning 25 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: at ten Eastern time. Bloomberg Jed Baxter has the story. 26 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 4: More twists and turns to even get to this space. 27 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 4: Jordan has come off as support of an interim speaker 28 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 4: after very heated response from his caucus. 29 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 5: So I'm still running for speaker, and I plan to 30 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 5: go to the floor and get the votes and win 31 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 5: this race. But I want to go talk with a 32 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,919 Speaker 5: few of my colleagues, particularly, I want to talk with 33 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 5: the twenty individuals voted against me. 34 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 4: Whether that will land him what he needs is a 35 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 4: big question as it hangs in the wind and delays 36 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 4: action on aid for Israel or Ukraine. Ed Baxter Bloomberg. 37 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: Radio dchair J. Powell is suggesting that the FED will 38 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: leave interest rates steady at the next meeting, but Powell 39 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: did not rule out higher rates down the road. 40 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 6: We have models for everything, we have formulists for everything. Ultimately, 41 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 6: as a practitioner, we have to focused on what the 42 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 6: economy is telling us, even taking legs into account, what's 43 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 6: it telling us? Does it feel like policy is too 44 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 6: tight right now? 45 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 7: I would have to say no. 46 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 6: I think the evidence is not that a policy is 47 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 6: too tight right now. So and M word five five 48 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 6: and a quarter to five and a half percent. 49 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: Powell also said that rising yields have lessened the need 50 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: for higher interest rates. Yields on two year treasuries declined 51 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: after he spoke, while tenure yields bumped up against five percent, 52 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: currently trading at four point nine to four percent in Tokyo. Well, 53 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: A new poll is out for the twenty twenty four 54 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: presidential race from Bloomberg News and Morning Consult.

Collectively in seven different battleground states, 60 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 7: he trails overall in aggregate forty seven to forty three. 61 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 7: Voters say they broadly support former President Trump's stance on 62 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 7: the economy. They trust him on the economy. More foreign 63 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 7: policy is not a strength for President Biden either. 64 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Jack Fitzpatrick. The poll also finds swing state voters 65 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: side the US economy is the most important issue heading 66 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: to the ballot box.
