00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

2
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here

3
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 3: First, let's look at snow hitting the Northeast today. A

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 3: winter store morning is in effect from New York to Boston.

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 3: New York City Mayor Eric Adams made the call yesterday

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 3: to close city schools.

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 4: We expect at least of five to eight inches.

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 5: Now we could get more.

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 3: And in Boston, Mayor Michelle Woo's taking similar precautions.

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 6: We will likely get between eight and twelve inches of

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 6: snow total.

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: That it will come down pretty heavily during the morning commute.

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: So the snow is here, but when will it end

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: and how much what we actually get. Bloomberg Meteorologist Rob

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: Carolyn joins us with those details.

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 7: Rob, Nathan, the snow has commenced in the Tri state

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 7: area and it will be developing this morning in the

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 7: Boston area. Right now, it looks like the New York

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 7: City area is going to see the maximum amount of

21
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 7: snow from this storm, about six to nine inches for

22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 7: the city and the immediate suburbs north of the city.

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 7: Well west of the city, it's a four to eight

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 7: inch snowfall. It should taper off by about three four

25
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 7: o'clock this afternoon. In fact, sky so clearer in the

26
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 7: Boston area, looks like a three to six inch snowfall

27
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 7: is likely, most of it falling between nine o'clock this

28
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 7: morning and three the same afternoon. Should be done in

29
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 7: the Boston area about five o'clock this afternoon. Looks like

30
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 7: the areas to the north of Boston will seem much less.

31
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 7: In fact, towards the New Hampshire line, just outside of

32
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 7: Root four ninety five, snowfall and mounts are probably going

33
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 7: to be less than an inch.

34
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: I'm Rob, Carolyn Bloomberg Radio.

35
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: All right, thank you Rob. The snow could also impact

36
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: voting on Long Island. Today, residents of New York's third

37
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: District head to the polls to pick a replacement for

38
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: disgraced former Representative George Santos. The contest pits Democrat Tom

39
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: Swazi against Republican Mazi Melissa Pillop, and the race is

40
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: seen as a referendum on President Biden's policies. Don Levy

41
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: has been conducting polling in the district. He's director of

42
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: the Siena College Research Institute.

43
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 8: In this poll, even though these are special election voters,

44
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 8: these are people are going to turn out on a

45
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 8: Tuesday in February. We're thinking that turnout will be no

46
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 8: more than twenty five percent. Know that this is a

47
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 8: district that in a presidential year this year, we're probably

48
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 8: going to be looking at sixty two to sixty five percent. Still,

49
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 8: we ask these voters, in addition to who are you

50
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 8: going to vote for on Tuesday to thirteenth, if your

51
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 8: vote for president was right now, would you vote for

52
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 8: Joe Biden or Donald Trump? And this district moves nine

53
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 8: points in Trump's erection. So instead of a four point

54
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 8: Democratic advantage when we pitt Biden against Trump, Trump is

55
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 8: five points up in this district amongst these highly motivated.

56
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: Special election voters.

57
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 8: So again, if indeed it turns out that Swazi wins

58
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 8: by this four and to whatever extent there are any

59
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 8: exit polls at all, and these very same voters would

60
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 8: prefer Trump, that's going to weigh heavily on the national

61
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 8: discussion moving forward.

62
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: Don Lovey with Cena College says today results could weigh

63
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 2: heavily on the outlook for November's election.

64
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: I meantime, amy Donald Trump is weighing in on leadership

65
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: at the Republican National Committee. The former president endorsing his

66
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: daughter in law, Laura Trump, to help lead the RNC

67
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: as co chair. He's also pushing RNC General Counsel Michael

68
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: Wattley to be the next chair. Sources tell us the

69
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 3: current RNC leader Roni McDaniel is in discussions to step down.

70
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: On Capitol Hill today, House Republicans will make a second

71
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: attempt to move impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Miyorcas.

72
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: They're planning for a vote this evening after last week's

73
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: attempt fell just one vote short. Republican Majority leader Steve

74
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: Scalise missed that session, but he is expected to attend today.

75
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: Amy, let's turn to the Middle East now, where fighting

76
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: in Gaza remains front and center. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah,

77
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 3: who is preparing for a ground battle in Rafa, where

78
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: the United Nations says roughly one point four million Palestinians

79
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: are sheltering. Bloomberg's Nancy Lyons has more on the US response.

80
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says, before Israel

81
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: goes any further, it needs a plan to protect civilians.

82
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 9: We don't believe that it's advisable to go in in

83
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 9: a major way in Rafa without a proper, executable, effective

84
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 9: and credible plan for the safety of the more than

85
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 9: a million Palestinians that are taking refuge in Rafa.

86
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: The Chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court says Israel

87
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: could face war crime charges if it does push ahead

88
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: with its ground invasion of Rafa. In Washington, Nancy lyons

89
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio.

90
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 2: Thank you, Nancy. Let's turn our focus to Wall Street now,

91
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: where markets are laser focused on inflation. Today we get

92
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: the latest reading on US consumer prices at eight thirty am.

93
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: Eastern traders hope the data will push the Federal Reserve

94
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: closer to cutting rates. That Governor Michelle Bowman says, it's

95
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 2: still too soon to make that call.

96
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 10: I think it's too soon to have an expectation that

97
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 10: or to measure or project when and how much I

98
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 10: think we might be lowering the policy rate. I think

99
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 10: the progress that we're making on inflation is very positive.

100
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: That Governor Michelle Bowman says, Risks still remain when it

101
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: comes to inflation. Economists predict today's report will show a

102
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: two tenths of one percent gain in consumer prices in January.

103
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: That would amount to an annual inflation rate of two

104
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: point nine percent.

105
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: Speaking of Gaines, Amy, Sunday Super Bowl broke records CBS

106
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 3: as the game saw the most viewers ever. One hundred

107
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: and twenty three million people tuned in to watch the

108
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: Chiefs beat the Niners in ot That's a seven percent

109
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: increase from the previous viewership high set just last year.

110
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: And betting on the Super Bowl set of record gamblers

111
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 2: in Nevada wagered a record one hundred and eighty five

112
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: million dollars on the game. That's twenty one percent more

113
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: than last year.

114
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 3: And another note from the world of sports, Tiger Woods

115
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: is launching a new brand. After ending his deal with Nike,

116
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 3: the golf legend has signed a deal with Taylor Made Golf.

117
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: Together they will create an apparel line called Sun Day Red.

118
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 3: It's set to debut in May.

119
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: Time now for a look at some of the other

120
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: stories making news around the world, and for that we're

121
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: joined by Bloomberg's John Tucker.

122
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: Good Morning John, and Amy.

123
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 11: Donald Trump appealing to the US Supreme Court again, this

124
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 11: time to try to put the Washington, d C. Election

125
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 11: trial on hold. Let's get more this morning in this

126
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 11: report from Bloomberg's at Baxter.

127
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 6: This is the criminal trial charging him with trying to

128
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 6: overturn the twenty twenty election. He wants the hold on

129
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 6: while he appeals another court ruling that rejected his bid

130
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 6: for immunity from any prosecution. Trump has repeatedly pushed to

131
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 6: delay deadlines and has argued a number of times that

132
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 6: any trial be held after the general election. He, if

133
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 6: he wins, could order the Justice Department to drop the

134
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 6: case at that time. How fast the court could rule

135
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 6: on this is an unanswered question at Baxter Bloomberg Radio.

136
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,080

00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 11: Johnson doesn't believe Ukraine can defeat Russia.

141
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 4: As sympathetic as I am for the Ukrainian people, I

142
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: don't see how setting another sixty billion dollars helps their.

143
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,560

148
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 11: Semitism on college campuses sent a letter to Columbia University

149
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 11: and its trustees requesting documents and the information regarding various

150
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,960

152
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,520

153

Speaker 2: bring in John stash Hour. Hey John Amy.

168
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: The ratings are in and Super Bowl fifty eight was

169
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 4: the most watched TV program ever. They have made one

170
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty three point four million tuned in to

171
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: what turned out to be the longest Super Bowl ever.

172
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 4: The parade for the Chiefs we'll take place tomorrow in

173
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 4: Kansas City. Mike Zimmer will take over as the defensive

174
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 4: coordinator in Dallas. He was an assistant for the Cowboys

175
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 4: from nineteen ninety four to two thousand and six. Later,

176
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 4: the head coach at Minnesota replaces Dan Quinn. He's now

177
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 4: the head coach in Washington. A domino effect in college football,

178
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 4: Jeff Hafley made a surprising move of leaving the job

179
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 4: as head coach at Boston College of being assistant in

180
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 4: Green Bay. His job at BC went to Bill O'Brien,

181
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: who was with the Patriots last season, but had taken

182
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: a job to coach the offensive Ohio State so there

183
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: was an opening there and the Buckeys filled it with

184
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 4: Chip Kelly. He took an even more surprising route, leaving

185
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: a head coaching job at UCLA. That job is now

186
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 4: going to Deshaun Foster, a former Bruins running back and

187
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 4: had been an assistant with the Bruins.

188
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 5: NBA.

189
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 4: The Warriors when they're fourth in row, they move over

190
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 4: five hundred to one twenty nine one oh seven win

191
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 4: a you joh seven Warriors and double figures. Wizards lost

192
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 4: in Dallas one twelve, one oh four. Luke Dontin twenty

193
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 4: six points fifteen assists for the Spurs. Rookie Victor Wembanyama

194
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: twenty seven points, fourteen rebounds, ten block shots plus five

195
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: assists the Spurs one by twenty three in Toronto, Philadelphia

196
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 4: put an end to Cleveland's nine game winning streak, the

197
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 4: six Ers one by two.

198
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 3: John Stashanwer Bloomberg Sports.

199
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 5: From coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco,

200
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 5: Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Sirius Exam, the Bloomberg

201

Speaker 5: Business appen Bloomberg dot com.

202
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. What

203
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: comes next after George Santos? That is the question that

204
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 3: voters in New York's wealthiest suburb are going to be

205
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 3: answering today in a special election that will affect the

206
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 3: balance of power in the House of Representatives and could

207
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: preview the issues that will affect elections in November. So

208
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: let's bring in Greg Valuere for some analysis on what's

209
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 3: happening today in New York's third congressional district. Greg is

210
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: the chief US policy strategist at AGF Investments. Greg, good morning.

211
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 3: I'm sure the voters in the New York third want

212
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: to get past the embarrassment of their previous congressman. Will

213
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 3: today's election do that or could we be in for

214
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: more of a muddle?

215
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 12: Maybe more of a muddle, Nathan, good morning. I think

216
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 12: whether it could be a factor. I think that you

217
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 12: could see turnout pretty low. But the big story, I

218
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 12: would argue is here in Washington, with as you say,

219
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 12: the balance of power shiftings possibly a little bit.

220
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: Okay, So let's talk about these candidates. We have Democrat

221
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: Tom Swase, who's got pretty good name recognition in New

222
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: York's third congressional district pitted against a Republican Masi Melissa Pillop.

223
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 3: Where do you see this race shaking out?

224
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 12: Hard to say. Both candidates have spent quite a bit

225
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 12: of money. I think the Democrat would have to be

226
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 12: viewed as the slight favorite.

227
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: Why is that?

228
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 12: I think, as you say, name recognition is pretty good

229
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 12: for him.

230
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 3: Name recognition. And also we've seen a lot of really

231
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 3: interesting issues emerge from this race as well, a lot

232
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 3: of focus on an issue that has been huge in

233
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: the New York City area, immigration, that could potentially be

234
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 3: something of a hindrance for a Democratic candidate, couldn't it.

235
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, it could. And the totals in Washington are so

236
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 12: narrow the new speaker, Mike Johnson, probably is only going

237
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 12: to have a majority of two or three seats, So

238
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 12: just one seat from Long Island could make a big difference.

239
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I would imagine the Democrats are on their

240
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: side trying to pin their previous Congressman, George Santos on

241
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: the candidate looking to succeed him, Republican Mazi Pillup. What

242
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: do you make of that possible effort by the Democrats

243
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: in this race?

244
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 12: It could succeed a lot again up in the air,

245
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 12: and I would say that the wildcard here is going

246
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 12: to be the weather.

247
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

248
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely, we do have some significant snow already starting to

249
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: blanket the New York City area. Let's talk a little

250
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 3: bit about how this could affect the balance of power.

251
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 3: As you alluded to, it's a razor thin majority that

252
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 3: Speaker Mike Johnson has. I mean, no matter who gets in,

253
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 3: it's still going to stay razor thin.

254
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 12: Right, Absolutely, And it looks like later this week Johnson

255
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 12: may be forced to hold a vote on aid to Ukraine.

256
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 12: I think that the opponents of that maybe have a

257
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 12: two seat majority. So there are so many issues like that,

258
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 12: like immigration, that every single seat will make a difference.

259
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 3: And on the issue of immigration, while this vote's happening

260
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: in the New York Third House, Republicans are going to

261
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:09,599
Speaker 3: try again on impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorcis.

262
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 3: Is this the right move for them on this immigration

263
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 3: issue to keep pushing against a Secretary Mayorcis when the

264
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: first effort didn't even succeed the last time around.

265
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, this is a total waste of time. It would

266
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 12: never succeed even if it made it in the House.

267
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 12: The Senate would never approve teaching and convicting him. So

268
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 12: I think, again, a waste of time. There are so

269
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 12: many issues right now that need to be addressed. To

270
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 12: spend time on this, to me is frivolous.

271
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: Not just the impeachment issue, but I mean, we're coming

272
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 3: up on yet another government shutdown or partial government shut

273
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: down deadline in just a couple of weeks. Is this

274
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 3: focus on Mayorcis and some of these other issues potentially

275
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 3: putting shut down back on the table.

276
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 12: Make a very good point, Nathan. Once again we have

277
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 12: to go through this nonsense of a government shutdown. There

278
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 12: are two deadlines. One is the first or second of March.

279
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 12: The second is in the second week of March. And

280
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 12: once again it's going to probably be a deadlock. And

281
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 12: once again there's going to be all this hype about

282
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 12: maybe a government shutdown. I would argue, in the final analysis,

283
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 12: we kick the can down the road and we have

284
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 12: still another extension.

285
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,920
