Speaker 2: News when you want it. With Bloomberg News Now, I'm

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: Nathan Hager. TikTok may still be on the clock. A

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 2: federal appeals panel in Washington, DC has upheld the law

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: that would ban the wildly popular video sharing app in

13
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: the US unless it's Chinese owner Byteedance sells it by

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: the day before Inauguration day next month. Bloomberg technology host

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: Caroline Hyde has more.

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: This is important because half of all Americans use TikTok,

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: and even the president to be in twenty twenty five

18
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: uses TikTok. So the view is that probably with nothing

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 3: gets held up, we do hit, but they appeal, and

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: basically that's going to push it into the long grass.

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: We'll probably get like a ninety day extension come January

22
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: the nineteenth, so that it then is dealt with by

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 3: the next administration, and.

24
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Caroline Hyde reports it could make enforcement of the

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: band more complicated with Trump's embrace of TikTok. In the meantime,

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,160

27
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,959

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: The broader market is rallying off a comeback in the

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: labor force. The November jobs report showed two hundred and

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: twenty seven thousand new non farm positions created after the

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: double whammy of storms and strikes in October, the unemployment

33
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: rate ticked up to four point two percent, but Acting

34
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: Labor Secretary Julie Sue says that is still quite low.

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 4: Those are all signs of an economy that is not

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 4: just recovered, but has been consistently strong and stable and

37
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 4: continuing to grow.

38
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: Acting Labor Secretary Julie Sue spoke to Bloomberg Television and

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: we also got consumers sentiment data from the University of Michigan.

40
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: It's up the most since April after Donald Trump's election win.

41
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: Joeann chu Is, Michigan's director of Consumer Surveys.

42
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 4: I and large Republicans expect labor markets to strengthen. Democrats

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: expect labor markets to weaken, and independence they're still trying

44
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: to figure things out. They're not really reporting much of

45
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: a change from last month.

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: Joanne Schue of the University of Michigan spoke on Bloomberg Radio.

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: One year inflation expectations jumped in this survey from two

48
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: point seven to two point nine percent, to sign that

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: consumers could be bracing for tariffs, But the labor numbers

50
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: have investors thinking the Federal Reserve could have room to

51
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: cut interest rates this month, though Fed Governor Michelle Bowman

52
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: is still preaching caution lowering the policy rate too quickly

53
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: could unnecessarily stoke demand and potentially reignite inflationary pressures, which

54
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: was another concern that I had at the time. Governor

55
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: Bowman spoke at a banker's event in Missouri. But the

56
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: market right now is mostly adding to its records, with

57
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: the S and P five hundred up a quarter percent

58
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: right now now getting close to sixty one hundred. The

59
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: Dow Jones industrial average is little change, but the Nasdaq

60
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: Composite is hired by six tens of one percent, and

61
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: the policy sensitive two year Treasury yield is down three

62
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: basis points to close to four point one point one percent.

63
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: The manhunt is now into its third day for the

64
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: gunman who shot and killed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson

65
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: in Midtown Manhattan this week. The New York Post is

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: a Starbucks cup recovered near the scene. DNA results, the

68
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: report says, could be days away. New York City Mayor

69
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: Eric Adams was on CNBC this morning.

70
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 5: There's a lot of new information that our detectives and

71
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 5: other law enforcement entities were able to find based on

72
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: their good old fashioned police work. But as you know,

73
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 5: there's very a level of sensitivity that you don't want

74
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 5: to do anything that's going to endanger of the investigation

75
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 5: or to tip off the suspect.

76
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: New York City Mayor Eric Adams there and police are

77
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: also offering a ten thousand dollars war for information. President

80
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: nominee is quote strong and deep, much more so than

81
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: the fake news would have you believe. End quote. Hag

82
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: Seth says he has overcome his past alcohol abuse.

83
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 6: I'm a different man than I was years ago, and

84
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 6: that's a redemption story that I think a lot of

85
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 6: Americans appreciate.

86
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: But Pete hegg Seth has yet to win the support

87
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: of Republican Senator Joni Earnst. She's calling for a full

Speaker 2: Those shares are up twenty one percent. Trump is named

91
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,800

93
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: a million shares of Rumble. Lulu Lemon stock is up

Speaker 6: but the big growth both thirty nine percent jump in China.

98
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,520

99
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 6: to be better positioned for the move forward, clearly seems

100
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 6: like Lula Lemon is tapping Asia, which I don't think

101
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 6: many analysts really had on their Bengo car.

102
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,599
